great work, eb. killin' it.
The more of you I read, the more of you I like!
Hi Mel, thank you, sir...
Hi Teresa, that makes me big happy to hear. Thank you...
Eric, these were two powerful images for me:
a sleeping tongue
in a wet crib
with loose bars.
AND
with a mouth
so big that
when I’m old
I’ll soak
my dentures
in a bathtub.
As someone who carries much of my tension in my jaw (I almost always wake-up throughout the night and in the morning with my jaw locked and teeth clamped),I am fascinated by the ideas around how much memory my jaw holds and how much I have felt silenced/voiceless in my life.
Your work brought up these issues for me again: the power of art.
Well done.
Hi Ethel, thanks. It's no fun, I know--I’ve got awful tension pains, too. I'm big happy you liked those images. And yeah, the feeling of voicelessness, of forced silence...it works politically, too. Thanks, Ethel...
