I'm contributing seven large pieces to a show in the cavernous José Drudis-Biada Art Gallery at Mount St. Mary's College. I dropped off the work today and had a pleasant drive through the winding hills of Brentwood. There's a great view of the Getty Center from up there. Many thanks to Jody Baral. The opening reception is September 14, I'll update the specifics later.
Madison Avenue. Crowds swirl by. A tugging on my sleeve, I turn. A madman, gaunt, cloaked, forlorn, saying, "Tell me about your true love's hair." I impale him on my vacant stare, vacant because now I am looking inward, feeling my loss. "My true love's hair," I say, "is a silken fall of glimmering lights, a dark wood with glints of autumn, coffee and cherry and chocolate brown, and fallen leaves all around." "May God have mercy on your soul," the madman says, and vanishes in the crowd.
