Strong Winds May Exist
@ SEPTEMBER Gallery, Hudson NY
June 12 - July 26 2021









A road sign said STRONG WINDS MAY EXIST

An angel came to me with a most holy order to stop everything and rearrange the room again
When I move the couch for the fourth time I feel at peace knowing that I am making a large drawing, exercising, avoiding my deadline, my death, and staying out of hell all at once

I’m good
I stand at a distance to look at what I have done

In my studio I stand too close so that I can’t see much of anything,
like the surface of the painting is the surface of my face

When X says Y knows more about Z than Z knows about Z
X means that Y has observed Z from angles Z will never know
Z feels sad when she remembers she can’t see the back of her own head like X, Y, and the others can
Z feels vulnerable and exposed

I attached a piece of rope to a piece of canvas with sewing pins, and spent time rearranging on the surface
It could still move

The weather man, my father, closes forecast emails with
