For our latest installment of Bulletin—Ursula’s recurring feature that focuses on artists’ bulletin boards and studio ephemera, the casual image banks they assemble for inspiration—we visited writer Lucy Sante at her home in Kingston, New York.
“This is my slowly evolving mood board, with images and words that move or stir me for a whole variety of reasons. Those reasons include friends. In the close-up you can see— besides Florelle, Marlene, two Louis Feuillade actors, Bull of the Woods tobacco and the cover of Poisoned Wheat by Michael McClure—a photo of Eva Pierrakos, a linocut by Mimi Lipson, a late-1970s détourné comic strip by Philippe Bordaz, a collage by Kosmo Vinyl, love beads by Gary Panter, an Emu Factory Ginger Wine label from Vanessa Berry and Susie Honeyman’s business card.”—Sante
