Handwritten Notes:
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
SUBJECT:
of cruelty, violence,
environmental crises.
People are blind and asleep.
Many days, I wake up and
would rather be asleep again.
I've tried to move
forward with a home
addition, a larger studio,
an office for 29 pieces,
and everything is met with
increasingly high budgets,
abstractionism, and my
own waning desire for
another "big" project.
