I was going to write a post about my chest of drawers that I found next to some garbage containers in New York, and how I dragged it up the fire escape to the studio, but I thought...nahh, not now.
Then I thought I would write about the bad weather and the implications of this and I thought the same....nahh.
So I am just posting this wonderful drawing of Albrecht Durer that I found searching for "Bernice", a reference in the book I am reading right now.
Berenice-- or Veronica--was according to legend a woman who lent a cloth to Jesus to wipe his brow as he was hauling the cross. Ever the person with manners, he handed it back to Veronica, complete with an imprint of his face.
This is Durer's celebration of that event.
Beautiful, isn't it ?
