Daydream, 2021 (detail)
 

​  Feeble remains of all those times someone never told someone they love someone enough times. Goes without saying, not even once. Recreational fantasy toward a state of final ambivalence or wilted chives sprinkled on top of cold mashed potatoes. Not even death dies eventually. The fear of the known trumps the fear of the unknown each and every time, everybody knows everybody, there’s no escaping what’s ever so completely open, ever so relentlessly accessible. The reoccurrence of complicit fill-in-the-blank forms, perpetual miseries turned code, turned pure unsolicited abstraction, subsiding, falling, collapsing escalators toward high-security nature reserves of free-roaming regrets and missed potential, disintegration into machinic discombobulation, alien indecision, exponentially unfamiliar pain, reducible mystery and chimeric somebodiness., 2021   Oxidized (using a mix of halite, ammonia, spirit vinegar, liquidized bluebottle fly [Calliphoridae lucilia] antennae) copper nails, and
