#184: Close your eyes

Close your eyes.

Be somewhere else.  

In place, 

time, 

space, 

situation.  

Count to ten and find yourself there.  

Use anytime you need it (or anytime you can, or want, to).

#183: No light, eyes...

GIFs of the patterns you see in the dark when your eyes are open or closed.

#182: Bright light, closed eyes

Oil on canvas. Monochrome painting that is the colour you see when you close your eyes in bright light.

#181: Closed eyes (Art anywhere, anytime)

The impressions made, in red on black or black on red, by the light on your eyelids when you close your eyes.

#180: Panic Piece

Recreate the feeling until you can’t breathe.

Then relax because you faked it.

And smile because that will do.

#179: Nude

A full-length mirror in a gallery.

#178: Work Together (A Socialist Tapestry)

Flags hang from the gallery ceiling representing all activisms that fall, or should fall, on the political left.  All strands and points of view are represented.  The bottom end of each flag is frayed so that they carry on and dangle down.  These frayed ends are then knotted to the frayed ends of every other flag, connecting all to each other.

sailing under all flags

we should all be socialists

and raise each other up

we should all be everythingists

advocates for each other

for we face obstacles in common 

and can only beat them together

competition narrows and demeans

us, makes us more like them

undermining and exploding

holding on and pulling down

to live as fearlessly as a child

we must first dismantle 

the entire prison together 

sailing under all flags

we should all be everything

for to raise each other up
