So many gifted writers + artists
made plays, did comedy & sketches,
wrote eloquent editorials
to make persuasive arguments
against Trump to no avail.
There are layers to this
grief. The momentum and
dedication for Hillary was
real - from the heart and
mind. History needs a woman.
It didn't happen and that
hurts. Hillary is smart, kind,
eloquent, hard working, inspiring
and she was the subject of
relentless with out. Pursued
by men and women alike.

going to be installed on
Monday. It is in the midst
of the heartbreak + fury

In a perfect world, I'd be SLEEP
documenting every step of very
the way on the Piece 24 well.
sculpture. I'd be documenting
my own and the world's reactions
to Hillary's loss and the
rise of hatred and ignorance
in our country.
Fortunately or not - the
work of actually doing
Piece 24 is 98% demanding
of my focus and concentration.
Lord Jesus Christ Son of God
have mercy on us. Lord Jesus
Christ Son of God have mercy
on us.
