THE STORY BEHIND - THE RED CLOTH



late summer '23, woodstock ontario
3 cold swims a week
and buzzing

it was a clip on a 'metal-zone' thing on my FB
Black Sabbath - War Pigs (w/amazing video)
is what it said/claimed

I love Black Sabbath and the clip
looked intriguing/cool
pulling me in

Ok. watched it - LOVE War Pigs
does NOT work w/these amazing pictures
which by the way WTF!
who did this?

no idea (still)


remove War Pigs, watch the images a bunch of times
and feeling dizzy (at the potential), something introspective
thinking Sid Acharya


some rearranging/redecorating
nip/tuck and yep


Phase One: visual
Phase Two: music
Phase Three: launch

MERCY




to have faith 
is to trust yourself in the water 
when you swim 
you don't grab hold of the water
because if you do 
you will sink and drown
instead you relax 
and float

native tongue: story
june 16, 2021



Canadian winters aren't in themselves
depressing

I've been disconnected from my lifeline
you see, having been a daily swimmer
for decades I've been in a downward spiral in that
an absence of cool moisture brings too 
an absence of sanity
and hope

those who don't swim
rarely get it - let's say it's
a turbulent purge after 4 months in lockdown purgatory, toronto
having had little inspiration to do anything but fish for bits
I had all the pieces of this puzzle roughly in order
before plunging into cold water and returning
to this new place just 3 hours ago
after no swims for months
and

finishing it 

but first today, a frigid 60 lengths at Alex Duff pool
guessing 18C (64F) - yes cold - amazing!
an effortless assembly unfolding 
in my little studio here in north high park
like dominos falling
finishing & mounting is my
favourite thing to do

fresh
welcome back

I'm gonna sleep 
like a baby
tonight
