“It’s in honoring this movement of mind, this tendency of thoughts to proliferate like yeast, that I find semicolons so useful. Their textbook function — to separate parts of a sentence “that need a more distinct break than a comma can signal, but that are too closely connected to be made into separate sentences” — has come to seem like a dryly beautiful little piece of psychological insight. No other piece of punctuation so compactly captures the way in which our thoughts are both liquid and solid, wave and particle. And so, far from being pretentious, semicolons can be positively democratic. To use a semicolon properly can be an act of faith. It’s a way of saying to the reader, who is already holding one bag of groceries, here, I know it’s a lot, but can you take another? And then (in the case of William James) another? And another? And one more? Which sounds, of course, dreadful, and like just the sort of discourtesy a writer ought strenuously to avoid. But the truth is that there can be something wonderful in being festooned in carefully balanced bags; there’s a kind of exquisite tension, a feeling of delicious responsibility, in being so loaded up that you seem to have half a grocery store suspended from your body.”

Caro Niederer: Paintings (@ Hauser & Wirth) http://4sq.com/LDNQsB

“I was always interested in the exotic and the foreign combined with the familiar,” says the Swiss artist Caro Niederer, whose intimate paintings, mining the depths of sense memory and based upon images from her travels and her daily life…She spent time in Cairo on a grant, and began collecting postcards, which she transformed, via painting, into exquisite, small distillations of faraway places. She also created shimmering silk carpets derived from her paintings, and photographed them both hanging in collectors’ homes—a cool sociological study that reunites the scattered members of her tribe of works.
