CLASSIC, or, ACIM lesson #9: I see nothing as it is now., 2025
She is a blues in drip and light. She is giving obviousness. She is: wood, plaster, plaster gauze, a pause, a hinterland adventure into her own wilderness, she is giving perspective and consternation as medicine. She is giving old car text ornament; labor and grease, engine and exhaust. She is giving combustion and relief. She is given rhinestone and chain. She is giving gold-filled. She is given precious little dainty ceramic baby and monkey band dupe. She is giving fragility. She is giving the miseries of luxury at doll scale. She is grounded in her sacral chakra. She has no need to spaceship to mars. She bites and offers prescriptive accountability in the divine nature of mutuality as a threshold of understanding. She is lapis, glass beaded trim and sodalite, she is sapphire and aragonite. She is spray paint and intentional damage to the aesthetic narrative of perfection as luminous existence, titanium coated quartz, doll parts, the blues and the drip of it, the tension of greed and how not even greed can stave off death, might as well fly.
