Artist Statement
Don’t tell a soul, and I’ll learn not to say much of nothing. I begin with the image just to see it. I’ve been waiting for you.
Just to see it! Tie time in a loop and knot it, tie it again. omen. Simulacrum, does the dog look like a dog…
I’ll learn something new. I want to. How to love my material, listen to it.
Clay pigeons and don’t think twice. Silly sublime… What is the speed of the sky, and for the birds. Row of garlic that holds me like home. Stuckness. Snow can be any color.
Mooring in the mire. Country music and folk songs. love songs. Anthropocene. Detective stories. Horror movies. Cool painting. American painting. Endings. One that loves. The end. Bloom. All night, all night.
Form a metaphor before I wake. Listen to my dreams. Change course. Not a new color. Twinkling.
I never used to be afraid of the forest.
Symbiotic relationship with photographs. Elasticize the loop. Dwelling. And what could he say? Think twice, it’s alright. Why not? It is my memory. A memory adjacent to my own, as close to a saint. Where have you been?
