Re: From Neri, toda ainsofit.

Hi Jeffrey,

I hope this finds you well and inspired! A short and random note from travels to say hello and send gratitude for your support of my work a while back. I ended up completing a series of death masks for the London Design Museum and the collection will be traveling to MoMA and SFMOMA in the coming years. Here are some photos of the second series of the masks and a few portraits of children holding Lazarus, a mask that is designed to contain the last breath (a sort of biological urn). I would not have been able to complete this project without your support, because so many thought it to be too weird. Thank you, it meant so much to me.

Warm wishes,
Neri

Congrats

Hi J,

I will be in NY tomorrow during the day in case you wish/are available to meet. I wanted to pick your brain and see if you'd like to help support another Death Mask-like collection, Vespers would have not come to life without you.... :) Almost shabbat shalom and kind thanks, Neri

Safe travels and see you when you get back when the time is good :)

Back on 18th

what funding do you need

I'll send a short note this weekend with ideas /budget and we can decide together.

If the SFMOMA / MoMA retrospective happens in 2020 I would like for you to be there.

I'll write more soon. Thank you for keeping the 'weird creative' in me alive. Its what I live for.

Hi Jeffrey,

OK, here we go, after meeting with a trusted PhD researcher: Any funds to support the the remaking of a Death Masks-like series would be terrific. The overall price was 180K and we are trying to raise that in full. If we wanted to add the portraits, we would need to add 50K. Any portion of that would be amazing.

Just FYI, the SFMOMA monograph show is scheduled for 2020 and we may do something at MoMA during Fall of 2019. Anything you'd like to contribute would be so much appreciated.

I hope you are enjoying your travels. Spending the weekend in NY was lovely, I'm now back at the lab.

See you soon and thanks so much for your consideration, Neri

Hi Jeffrey,

I have a little gift for you. Where should I send it?

Your ears were burning this weekend as Joi and I spoke of you and sang your praise.

Hugs from the lab and hoping all is well!

Neri
