Baseball may be a religion full of magic, cosmic truth and the fundamental ontological riddles of our time, but it’s also a job. -- Annie Savoy, Bull Durham 1988

Week 01 of my artist residency with @mallisworkshop Going to be a long season that will require, routine, consistency, patience, presence, and discipline. Makes me think of Cal Ripken, the ‘Iron Man’, maybe not the five tool player like Trout or Ohtani, but he showed up to work every single day for 2,632 games. A sublime act that will forever stand. Give into the process of the day to day and allow for one game to add to another, one series at a time.
