monsters

I'm just finishing 6 months of monsters. With hindsight, they began last summer on a train. I had an amazing conversation (one of many) regarding the mutant faces of memory and experience while searching cross country for a place to live (there's a blog for Craig Kandel that details that trip at americanoutsiderart.com).

i don't know what to think of them,
as they just came out this way.

strange amalgamations; comic, clumsy, a little fearful,
lush, fleeting and ponderous (posible)
