Me, Myself and Arthur

I recently started a collaborative project with artist Arthur Cravan, 1887–? Cravan was a major precursor to dada, self proclaimed poet/boxer, provocateur and man of many faces. Perhaps his most impressive work was his ability to reinvent himself using multiple personas, some of which are still debated to this day. He was last officially seen in 1887 heading into shark infested waters off the coast of New Mexico, alone in a small sailboat, on his way to Argentina to meet his wife Mina Loy. He never arrived, but there are accounts of Cravan sighting for the next three years.

I've invited Cravan to reinvent himself once again, more than 100 years later via psychic medium Debra Huelsebusch. I'll be posting the results here as they develop. I can already tell you that it's been interesting. Here is part of the transcript of my meeting with Arthur:

He said it's like you're taking a glass of water and you're pouring it into another glass. It will be poured back and forth and it will change as you pour it back and forth. He just said that you can shoulder a lot more that you think. Whatever it is its going to be a good growth process for you.
