Scraps 1a-d, June 2005


 

The desire to make a serious statement comes from having worked many years in a world of conflict between building and ruin. After so long in the fields and, toward the end of your time, the desire to tell others of your harvest comes from your age and seeing your friends die. You come to know better hurry or your statement will be lost before it is made. So, in a way, these scraps.
