Imagination

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Albert Einstein

NY 2008 Experiment

-=unedited nonpunctuated and so it goes=-

the cure for it all
is a little hard work
just put your back into it
don't lie around all day
like a slug under a rock
though that might be how you feel
as if you're dead already

the cure for this malaise
and second-guessing
is to never guess first
step forward and don't retreat
although parading in circles
repeatedly if unknowingly
is quite acceptable

keep the mystery everpresent
and keep the present mysterious
and mysteriously present yourself
to you now for you are not now who you were then

and whatever you do don't look back
for if this is the cure
than that is certainly the cause

Winnipeg

i'm leaving in the morning
and i thought i should admit
finally,
that it was never your fault

this came to me,
last night
as I walked the ice roads home
from maryland
and that bartender who looked into my eyes
and repeated every word I said
like poetry
Spadina
Spadina
Spadina
which is where I live now
in chinatown:
deranged and ramshakle
unkempt and snake charmed

it reminds me of you.

and that certain way you look sideways at me
during the long, dark rides home
or the way your street sounds when
no one has walked on the pavement for days

and how I now mistake the recognition
in your eyes for madness because
it's been a while since i've been recognized
by you
or anyone else for that matter.

walking the ice roads
last night
I looked up and saw you
bright and twinkling
dressed in snow
smiling at me.

and I realize now, how unfair I've been.

silence is golden

Sam (Emma's Brother)

This is a painting that I made as an X-mas gift for Emma's parents.

I have only done 3 paintings in my life and hadn't done one in close to 10 years.

Dimensions are 5" x 7".

2009...the year of blind contour sculpture!

This sculpture is based on a blind contour drawing I did. I redrew it in Autocad and then had it fabricated in 1/8" steel. Now that this is complete I can make more at the press of a button...in wood, powdercoated steel, and even stainless steel.

Happy New Year!

Gimli and Back

So, here is my first-ever completed video, using the bazillions of images i've shot over the last 4 or 5 years.

My friend Sean De Coste did the editing and sound.

We will soon make the resolution quality higher.

Knackerson has agreed to get on board-- other collaborations welcome. I literally have 40 or 50 things like this-- short videos made up of hundreds or even thousands of still images-- and just need help getting them all together.

Winnipeg retreats 2

How long can you fool yourself?
How long can you find yourself?

I can see what's coming.

There were traps on the terraces
And the curls made your hair think

The yellow light and your cold black heart
It was blanco and torro that told me

I can see what's coming.
