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.
