Chaos vs Order circa 2011
There are certain things I admire about order; the illusion of peace, the comfort of clean line, ease of movement. And things I loathe: denial of chaos, the shunning of nonlinear thought, confinement. Have you seen the way most eyes are drawn to order, and do not process discordance? Package it up, make it palatable, even if it's a lie. Is it danger or salvation?

A N T I QUITY
This is it, the final vestige of the premise of the 2010 show. This may be the last entry for a while (although I will be updating archives regularly) as I work on the 2010/2011 showing and keep everything veiled until The Time.

Penance
I am swayed by other thoughts on color other needs than mine. Other minds in light cast shadows into me. I cherish them but I will not let them possess me.

4th of July
Age casts shadows on her face like a delicate mantilla. The long hair that served her well in the 60's is streaked grey and her hippy ways have not faded with time. For miles she drags the remains of the holidays in bright yellow bags. Used diapers, shattered whiskey bottles, melted lawn chair parts.

The man in the story knelt on the sand and as he dug he lost his need to be a lawyer and forgot what he had to do to be a man in this world. His friends thought he was crazy but as his found possessions accumulated and his wealth deteriorated his happiness grew.

The Button Boxes
Life cannot be documented without mentioning The Tins. The sewing machine would hum for hours, and the only thing better than a mother's attention were the battered landscaped tins brimming with leftover fasteners. Navy anchors, rhinestone baubles, glinting tin, pale pink corrugation, the pulse of the Singer as inevitable as losing a button.

Elderberry Veins
Inside an elderberry stem there is a styrofoam like core which hardens after days at sea into a substance to be scraped out and made into useful hollow things. This is not an elderberry stem; it is a piece of plastic, but its curves run parallel to that right angled shrub's.

Wax Lipped Mama
Cracked at the edges her lipstick bleeds. When she blinks her lashes take a rest, a time out to sort themselves before keeping guard against the ravages of time, wind blowing through the trees, the glint of a bottle in the grass.

Something made for fingers to slip into- a handle, a glove, the grasp of another, seems so basically personal, a sign that, as humans, we care for one another.

From a distance, this golf ball looks whole. Close up, dents misshape it. From the sticky sweet aroma of the USCG golf course' cottonwood groves to my beach 40 miles away, what a hit that must have been.
