| HOVERCRAFT
began before the U.S. invasion of Iraq,
AND during brutal Southern California Santa Ana winds that turned the
contents of several cans of Hi-Tack Spra-Mount into just so much dust.
I began showing up early at functions with a brush and a bottle of Elmer's
glue. In the process of touching up my pristine Sistine, Bush came to
shove, and I found myself turning the two-dimensional World Wide Wall
into a 3D palimpsest; a Z Axis splatter pattern that reflected the horrors
of invasion, occupation, and the War On Terra; with it's larger political,
financial, and Spiritual issues that all wars are inevitably fought (and
lost) over. All centered on the bullet hole that Iraq had become.
First to start on my wall, I continued updating it until the doors were locked at 3643 1/2 6th Avenue for the last time. HOVERCRAFT was a success in the minds from which it sprang, and to the hundreds who witnessed it. I am happy to have been a part of it. Happier still, that the "Beginnings Box" has ended up on the World Wide Web, where what you take, can truly be what you make... ;>
When I look into your
eyes, your love is there for me It's all too much
for me to take Floating down
the stream of time from life to life with me It's all too much
for me to take Sail me on a silver
sun, where I know that I'm free It's all to much
for me to see It's all too much
for me to take Too much...Too much... TOO MUCH!
