drones. We buy art at Target because it matches the couch and has the same tones as the
wallpaper. We have forgotten what art is. We must try to remember that art is...

There is something beautiful even in the
most unsettling of images and paradigms.
There are other life narratives. We are all
someone else too. We just let others live
that narrative for us because we are
hesitant to leave the self-made prisons we
have constructed so carefully.
The other life narrative is somewhat
autobiographical. I’ve seen everything I
paint. I sense the beauty in the margins.

The game has history. The game has
names long forgotten and names glorified.
The past game has a quiet about it; almost
a haunting. They played the game. They
lived the game. They are gone.
Who was the best? Who was the worst?
Who was the fellow sitting deep in the
bleachers? They had their moment; that
frozen moment in space and time. They
were there. We are here. We become
those who were there before we are gone.
Live in the game. Savor the moment.
