sound maps . antenna

It is quiet between the walls

the layered textiles

the paper walls

there is a faint sound of strings

i think

and a hum in the clouds

I like the word melancholy

it has a little madness

part sadness

and part magic

I use my antenna to listen 

to the far away distance

the particles and static

 

see sounds and hear shadows . static

only speak in whispers

with accumulated static

the sound of a short wave radio

between the walls

of the old apartment

paint, ink, gesso on gelatin silver print

for a group show coming up

paint ink pastel on paper

something i like to have on in the background

while working on things in the studio

and doing things around the house

as i move in and out of rooms and corners

somewhere in the back of my mind

gold behind their eyes

Gold behind their eyes

 a halo of transmitters on their heads

staring into recorded memories 

of the places in a beforeland 

it's the end of October 

 thinking of all the other Octobers 

when no one was watching 

when things were experienced 

and rarely documented
