2003

from Robert:
A Los Angeles collage set, completed in about two weeks, and made in angry response to an exhibition by George Herms at the Ace Gallery.

"Teach him a lesson," so I said to myself at the time.

In their extension out from the first few pieces an entirely different inspiration took over not unrelated to the Printed Pomes.

One reads, one of the first, "Whose? / Sundae cones / on Deer Mountain Road."

Their epigraph comes from Robert Creeley's poem "Go": "Push that little / thing up and / the other right down. / It'll work."

Drawings, in the sense of their speed, lightness. A flash of mind more. "Little twigs standing in a lifetime's light," I wrote in another context.
