PITH, SOUL, HEART NEEDED FOR A BETTER REALITY
“Oh, Jack. Thank you for the images, the memories, the restraint, the simplicity. Thank you for showing us again and again and again the core, the purity, the beauty of a listing sailboat, a flying shrimp net, a flying curtain over a couple of single beds or even and — this is my favorite — a dangling light bulb. We need to see that. We need to see pith, soul, heart in a single frame.
Oh, Susan. Thank you for keeping the images alive, for crossing all the t’s, for dotting all the i’s, and maintaining the integrity of the work, for daring to open a gallery “way out there” on Mills B. Lane Boulevard, away from the hustle, the bustle, the high rents of downtown.
In a world of bots, robots, Twitter bots, spam bots, Botometers, social bots, malicious bots, botnets, honeypots, error codes, trolls, firewalls, viruses, worms, bugs and our own 21st century version of the Trojan horse, you both show up to remind us there is another way, there is another reality.”
