eden's contingent bliss is a non new age arcadian landscape à la Poussin

in heated argument with Caravaggio, via a bilinear interpolation of the

two Freuds. it's about our collective heretical heritage peeking through

the peeling paint, while profane whoremongers hustle hollow theories of

change, plastering text over every abyss of meaninglessness and paradox

- the inevitability of cracks where you least expect them. about being

cognizant and remaining sacred - slowing down or stopping outright,

defying the odds, allowing yourself to be looked at in the sunlight, eating the apple, not

standing in line at the ATM with a cell phone and an ironic smile, getting ahead. about

the varieties of illusion masquerading as truth, equally valid, equally absurd, not

knowing the difference; knowing you don't know.   ©2000
