art isn't a person or a place but rather the flash of a camera, you learn. the
way cameras capture our most vulnerable moments, the inwards curl of a lip
or fingers brushing together: a white flash that begins the universe
and ends it too. you're feeling like a knife just burst your
eardrums as soon as you step out of that car as artwork
after artwork is created. an intrusive gallery.
oil paintings are layers of flakes of
randomly scattered colors stacked on top of each other
to create something beautiful, which is how you
feel in a photograph:
the imperfections on your face, your half-closed eyes,
the bit of hair hanging over your forehead: abstractness
collated to form a masterpiece.
