Sometimes


 Reading Gertrude Stein. "The Making of the Americans" and being entranced by the cadence of the broken language that goes forward and back. Pulled some fragments and made a two-projector slide piece that I projected for a week on the inside of a shop window on a street in downtown Beverly Massachusetts.

My fascination with violence combined with Gertrude Stein's words about a man' "bottom nature" to help me say what I wanted to say about ..men. Big time men, sad men broken men, confused men, men in mourning, men in hate. men in fear.

I got no reaction from most of those who saw it. bBut it was a success to put it into the public realm
