The Graeter Art Gallery closing fucked me up for a bit. I have all this new work that I was making for my show in may. I am back where I was over a year ago. I will be putting thing out there in Portland for the next year in as many spots as I can. I have a show planned for The Back Space in may to take the place of the show at the Graeter. I have placed these two paintings at Muu Muu's, an eating establishment located right next to Cinima 21 on North West 21st street. More to come. I had ten pieces in The Big 300 at Haberman's gallery and I think they all sold. I will try and post more art here more often.
I slip my hand away from the
right path, for which the ghostly souls are forever grateful, with white
bleached bones and rolling eyeballs, to their ready-made scowling visages, with
strings of thought pearls around slender necks they rise and look at every step
and believe it is a dream on which the pearls, drowned out of sight in milk
energy and love, are left behind.

The threefold aspect of a storm
watching the ant children, loosing the ability to lucid dream, and when his
mother mentions that he’s ‘always been a bit strange’, acted collectively, with
the seed of the blue stone, to create a son via a human woman. She reviewed the day’s work and gesticulated
in pardonable self-approbation while her companion kept trying in vain to adapt
the swing and long-limbed spider gait of a disheveled old poet. To the three,
the humans are the ants. They are only interested in directing the people in
such a way that they do not know that they are being directed.
