Before Suzanne met Erik, she lived for a few years in Lugano, Switzerland. When I visited her, I took in the art museum and remember being exposed to the work of Austrian painter Egon Schiele for the first time.
Today Andrew Sullivan had a post about Museo d’Arte di Lugano, and naturally I zeroed in.
Andrew quotes Andy Cush on the museum’s latest exhibit: “36 ventilators, 4.7m3 packing chips, a new installation from the Swiss artist Zimoun … The artist filled a space inside Switzerland’s Museo d’Arte di Lugano with lots and lots of polystyrene packing peanuts, and uses 36 fans to whip them into a stormy frenzy.”
Watch the video of crashing packing-popcorn waves at Andrew Sullivan’s blog, here.
Lugano is a charming, Italian-speaking city. I passed through there as a teenager, with no premonition of my future connection to the place, just astonishment at palm trees in snow-capped Switzerland. Funny how things turn out.

So very true–funny how things turn out!
Hope you have been well, Tracy Lee. Spring is coming even if the temperature doesn’t feel like it.
Spring definitely makes it easier to be on the upswing… I’m believing in it, even though I can’t yet see it.
