The idea of a liberal arts education is deeply rooted in our academic history. Originally based in the goal of learning about the classical literature of Greece and Rome, the approach has morphed over the years into a broad course of study, including mathematics, literature, history, languages, philosophy, art, and the sciences. It is those last two subjects that caused the two of us to come to meet one another.

Lindsay assures me that this is not burlap. It is raw linen. Burlap is for barns and bags of horse feed. Raw linen is a superior form of textile and I would have known all of this if I weren’t an artistic troglodyte.
