I am posting about another piece in my online journal (can I just say here that I strongly dislike the word “blog”? I use it because it is part of our language but I think there are much prettier words to describe the same thing... but I digress...)
This piece is one of my favorites because it was a whole lot of wonderful things coming together all at once. I had an old friend who was about to say “I do”. He had an incredible day before him. Friends and family had flown in from all over to watch him to promise to love and cherish forever, to really put his heart in that vulnerable place of making a promise without knowing what the future would bring—because none of us in all our incompleteness knows what tomorrow will bring. He stared at the water below the cliff he stood on and it was such a perfect metaphor for what he was about to go through...
You know the feeling. Existing on the brink of a decisive moment. You know after this that things will not be the same. Take one last look over that ledge and leap (or not).
Another bit about this piece that is especially meaningful for me is that it was in a satellite show of Art Basil Miami, which I attended as a featured artist, and in which I experienced the exquisite embarrassment of being interviewed on television unexpectedly and having no idea what to say! Also, this piece was featured in an art book entitled "A Meditation on Place".
I really hope you like it and if you want to buy it, it is available on my webshop here
