Who’s in?

Our niece and nephew’s daycare is hosting an event where all the kids can invite a family member or a friend to visit. When her parents asked who she wanted to invite, our 4-year-old niece immediately said “Auntie Kiira” (that's me). My husband, her biological uncle, was a bit jealous, but we’re going together. 🥰

John Yau reflects on the life's work of Jasper Johns, noting that the power of the artist's work comes from his originality, self-observation, and analytical mind.

Yau contemplates that "the force of [Johns's] authenticity should remind us that, for all his accomplishments and genius, Johns has never lost his love for art and artists, while recognizing that nothing stays in time."
