Back East
The Opening!
Re/collection: A gathering with paintings by Grant and music by Aba
Straying only very little.
woodpile
A few paintings from the summer months.
Previous openings.
Too narrow for cars.
A long stretch of openings.
Stick frame. Now empty
this very long lean-to
hand carved kid names
like eastern mountain shelter
Strong shadows push back at the open side
Board side without of view.
Why did they even lay down concrete?
Striking stops in yellow catch an eye.
Repetition of form.
A forts old carriage house.
View.
I opened my studio door yesterday
found leafs strewn across the gross white rug
that covers the astro turf
that then covers concrete.
It seemed abandoned and cold in there
my little one man space
How long had it been?
What happened here?
Distanced familiar intimacy
It takes time to warm up
get the blood moving.
Brief summer time warmth gone
brace for the primary season
wind whistled through
Thin walls drew attention…
Space heater.
