Layers of color and start out with white into white the
color saturation making this start of a new work out on the bank beyond the
retaining wall wind blowing light breeze paint fumes going east towards the
other apartment but no one home so keep working to get the first layer down on
the paper and as it dries out Maggie goes out I’m inside waiting for a minute
for it to dry and then take the other stuff out to paint and I ask her if she
wants to paint some and she nods so I get the crate and sit it next to the
cardboard box folded up from the sidewalk alongside Henry Street sidewalk
gleanings of needing a piece of cardboard to work on so I can use push pins to
hold things in place if I want to work vertical but today the wind is blowing
but first we put the mesh from a potato sack over the paper and she paints and
move it and use the mesh from a Mandarin oranges sack a little pensive until
move the mesh to see what is left painting in the blind here and the mesh works
very fine very fine and the spaghetti noodles go on next and Maggie paints
different uses different speed time place approach not the same as how I work
and I watch and go get camera to photograph as she does a hand impression on
her latex glove outline cave painting post-industrial cave art longest running
style school of thought way of doing art in the history of mankind as Maggie
taps into that energy of signals to infinity of “I am here” identity unit of
reality presence function of persona and more as the photographs flow and the
video captures the last few minutes of work and it is finished and done now on
the wall arrival of cave art in this cave of later day saints riding out
infinity with paper thin walls of cave art using cheap spray paint to make the
marks without wooly mammoths or buffalo just potato sack mesh onion sack or is
it oranges as the spaghetti noodles create worm holes in space quantum jump
jump across the Universe into white as whiteness silver shimmer Jackson Pollock
lightness of being within you without you nothingness evading time space
continuum as this cave radiates I AM I AM I am here and more and more
