I am very fond of the oyster shell. it is humble and awkward and ugly. it is slate-colored and unsymmetrical. its form is not primarily beautiful but functional. i make fun of its knobbiness. sometimes i resent its burdens and excrescences. but its tireless adaptability and tenacity draw my astonished admiration and sometimes even my tears. and it is comfortable in its familiarity, its homeliness, like old garden gloves when have molded themselves perfectly to the shape of the hand. i do not like to put it down. i will not want to leave it.

In ancient times, people weren't just male or female, but one of three types: male/male, male/female, female/female. in other words, each person was made out of the components of two people. everyone was happy with this arrangement and never really gave it much a thought. but then god took a knife and cut everybody in half, right down the middle. so after that the world was divided just into male and female, the upshot being that people spend their time running around trying to locate their missing other half.

So my grandmother was not without humanity. and if she wore cocktail dresses when she labored in the garden, they were cocktail dresses she no longer intended to wear to cocktail parties. even in her rose garden she did not want to appear underdressed. if the dresses got too dirty from gardening, she threw them out. when my mother suggested to her that she might have them cleaned, my grandmother said, "what? and have those people at the cleaners what i was doing in a dress to make it that dirty?" from my grandmother i learned that logic is relative.

Salma and i had run into each other once or twice at film festivals because i was doing the press for real women have curves at the same time she was doing the press for frida. she had seen real women have curves, and when the idea of ugly betty came up, she thought of me. her enthusiasm about the project was so infectious-she spoke of it with such expectation. everyone that was involved was really excited about the project. i really wanted to be a part of it.

What i have learned about museum buildings is that buildings have to have iconic presentations. the position of the art museum vis-a-vis other civic buildings needs to be hierarchal in the community. it has to be equal to the library and the courthouse.

I don't think all buildings have to be iconic, but the history of the world has shown us that cultures build iconic buildings for their major public buildings.
