That's so cool you have someone's face.
You could also title it the sleeping canvas.
She looks very at ease.

19th (Saturday)
Myle called this morning
sounding utterly fatigued,
telling me they've taken 24
eggs out at the clinic this
morning. Text from her this
evening: 'In so much pain...'
Said 'caio' to the Italian
girl, for the first time in
weeks it seems

20th (Sunday)   [A Face]
Fog, overcast, but the colours
lovely

21st (Monday)   [A Face]
Met Reanne on Dunsmuir as she
was coming out of The Station,
under a foggy sky. Myle
called, nearly in tears from
pain in her stomach. Told me
that 13 of the 24 eggs were
fertilized

22nd (Tuesday)   [A Face]
Showing Reanne the 'Face',
she explained that in makeup
school they made moulds of
their faces using something
called alginate. 'That's so
cool you have someone's
face.' Myle called, described
all her aches & pains, & that
she was short of breath from
the conditions. 'Shh!!! Don't
tell anyone, not even Reanne,'
she said, when I asked if the
egg had been put back in
Fogged in again around the
downtown perimeter, along the
water

23rd (Wednesday)   [A Face]
Lovely, warm autumn afternoon
downtown, with a thick bank
of fog along Beach Ave
Talking to Myle on the phone
tonight, who was sounding a
lot better

24th (Thursday)
Another day of fog/sun

25th (Friday)
Numerous texts from Myle
asking me to photograph
the grey Duchamp handbags
at Holt. Overcast, no fog
