Defining Sublime, my notes from New Jersey:

"If sublime is nature but at a scale or form that frightens us, the unknown… then surely the sea as a generalisation is sublime - the depth, the force and power. And the night is sublime - with stretching formless darkness. Perhaps I can combine these with a concept of nocturnes? "

Defining Ides of March:

The 15th of March, marking the middle of the month. Julius Cesaer was killed this day but as I'm not a Roman general I'm not going to worry about that bad omen. Also, according to Wikipedia:

"The Ides of March was a festive day dedicated to the god Mars and a military parade was usually held."

Well, I can't give you a parade but I can give you a fantastic art show opening! (And even dedicate it to Mars if you'd like that.)
