January 8, 2020 It was just yesterday that I got to New York. Something happened that I didn’t think would ever happen for me again— that sense of well being washing over me that used to happen here. Tonight it was walking up ton on Broadway around 7:30 or dark, streets a city winding down.

It was a magical day in New York. I came here to see the 500 years of Women's Work collection.

I was unaware of the history of women in France in bookbinding.

This context allowed the subject of contrapception. Object pamphlet.

All "women's WORK"

The work of authors who researched their books was shown in context of photos & texts they had used in their books. Books were framed in bright coloured frames.

FRIDAY evening, 01.10.20 I rushed from the Met Breur to the Met. It was that magical time in the city before dark. Jody and I met on the second floor balcony for drinks & then went to Cafe Sabarsky.
