11" x 12" x 2"
mixed material collage



everything is building up to
building up to building up
and destruction is just one phase of building
cut down trees
churn up the earth
everything recycled endlessly as far as we can tell

those who stand and insist on sovereignty
those most noble martyrs who stand in the face of the advancing monster
know this more than anyone
that refusing to move when the stakes are destruction
has ultimately more creative power than anyone
they stand at the pivot
and what will be cannot be imagined by anyone

modern art was born with modern warfare
out the trenches rose dada 
the surrealist rose
everything broke
this painting looks like a pile of hair
torn out no doubt by the critics
longing for harmonious aesthetics
people want to go back
not considering severe tire damage

eh just keep gardening
it's all material
but not materialistic
because the future is immaterial
put it all together again
it's all happening now
every genre at once
