"Sirens carom off the steel and glass in Hell’s Kitchen tonite. The towers are acoustic chambers that amplify roars now and then, and then a single horn. And now, no sound. These receptive properties of buildings.
Squared off, varying heights, pockets of reflecting rectangles, softening. I keep watching these movies play again and again.
At night in the empty streets, immersed in the concrete and asphalt surface, the light emitting boxes and streetlights cast and the corners tail off.
It’s our landscape and regardless of the injustices that caused it to rise, all jagged, yet aligned and plumbed to the slate beneath, it’s what we have, no?
Dear #NewYork:
Behind glass, between Dunkin’ Donuts and Frames Bowling alley, on the second floor of the south building at Port Authority Bus Terminal are some paintings I made over the last few months.
These are being presented in association with Six Summit Gallery. The show is on borrowed time; soon I will have to take them down but I don’t know when. Hope you enjoy.

"According to psychiatrist Dr. Mark McDonald, the true public health crisis is not COVID-19 itself; rather, it’s the fear of the infection, which has “morphed and evolved into a form of mass delusional psychosis”
Many enter a state of hysteria when they see an unmasked person, even if they look perfectly healthy and clearly are not suffering from any kind of respiratory issue. This is a highly irrational state that has no basis in reality.
Delusion is defined as believing something that doesn’t conform with reality
There are serious concerns about the lasting effects this widespread insanity will have on children as they grow up.
