Introducing a new series Color Plates
This series is dedicated to Rhiannon and Carl for your appreciation of my series Symbolic Translations of the Binomial Theorem. Your conversation in my kitchen about the use of paint on the back ground reminded me that I had actualy blended the color on the canvas, which is what I have done for these paintings. I've also taken note of my proclivity towards striation and its beauty in certain plant life.
TODAY, LORD, CLOUD ~ a Tripctych acrylic on canvas $750

The title of these paintings is a line of Christopher Nealon's from his poem "Concept and Catagory" in his book /The Joyous Age/. I have been particularly in love w/ page 67 for some time and have written an opposite emulation which is posted between the details below

Adorno Component

We're possibly out of cake
our brainstay
Tomorrow: earth, clear skies
Degrees of intervention and departing
Spontaneously combusting selfblind
Either embitterment or cathexis. Sleep,
Leave off--

That was us arriving something fast
That was making against some same
Sine and rain we

think of the beads of sweat gathering
along the outside of a water glass
Calm down against them and we do
have a pool
on some deeper hunter from go
