new york is the thing that formed me
new york is the thing that deformed me
new york is the thing that perverted me
new york is the thing that converted me"

studio,june 2nd

luis emilio ("the rose")

found old canvas started in 2006 when i was moving,started working on it again and it is a mixture between the pace of dripping syrup in the winter with intermittent breaks of hitting your head on the wall over and over. maybe it needs to go back to its place in the studio pile for a while (or at least until summer is over).

i remember reading an article about a woman who obsessively painted the same canvas for over fifty years,titled "the rose".At the time of her death it had to be removed from her studio with a forklift because if its weight in oil paint. makes sense......
