“Metaphors be with you” presents unseen works by Jacquelyn Strycker and Pete Ippel, two artists with distinct, temporal strategies who share a love of the phenomenological world.

Jacquelyn Strycker is a painter/ printmaker who has just returned to the United States after a year in Italy. Her recent body of work has taken the levels and stratums of Rome as its inspiration: she places print upon print, drawing upon drawing, and finally blends these pieces into a cohesive, melodic repetition of layers.

Pete Ippel, a multi-media artist who lives and works in San Francisco, will be showing drawings, prints and a single channel video. This collection of pieces explores essence and affect as it applies to daily life.

Dinner at the Slanted Door

Goodness, I don’t think I’ve ever had such a fine meal…the complexity of the flavors once again shows how much I *don’t* know how to cook.

Reservations are a great idea so I called at 11am, and it took about 15 calls to get past the busy signal, and they actually only had a table for two on the 5th of July at 9:15pm…however I talked to the hostess at 5:30 pm at their suggestion, and got a reservation for the same night at 8pm. It was totally worth the hassle.
