Untitled, Woman with Tree, paper collage, 2021
being. portrait of nonbeing still-life with an apple tree tied behind your back thin paper nose back arched like a self-tied knot infatuated with pianos, maybe, or waking up gently to the thrill of chrysanthemums on a Tuesday morning (with dew) it’s the kind of scenery that writes you a song & then spills its gaudy instruments all over the floor what a body remembers readying life or waiting to convince the senses of this vacancy

These lines are really good…something so musical about scenery that takes your breath away..whether the landscape is beautiful or tragic, it speaks to us somehow in a melody, a song, a rhythm…”gaudy” or imperceptibly..
