Great install photos of my commissioned #painting ‘The Typesetter’s Song.’ It’s so gratifying to see it finally up on the wall and in the place it was made for.

❝There was never any more inception than there is now,
Nor any more youth or age than there is now;
And will never be any more perfection than there is now,
Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.❞

The individual #triptych panels of
"The Typesetter's Song"
#Whitman's lifelong practice of revision and reworking resonated with my #process of excerpted #text defining the surface structure & #colorfield, which resonate through the layers of #painting changes. It's safe to say that I might've continued to #paint if it didn't ship.

The focus of my #studio practice for nearly 6 months: a commission based on #Whitman's #LeavesOfGrass. The research into the source #text brought a new understanding to his approach to writing as a #printer and object (#book)maker.

"Hate tyrants, argue not concerning God,
have patience and indulgence toward the people.."
.. "read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life,
re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book,
dismiss whatever insults your own soul,
and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency.."

The phrase #CareAndRepair first moved me in a recent #NaomiKlein article. It reminded me of the #EdwardNorton movie #LeavesOfGrass . "Don't you want to repair the world?" Sad that we don't expect that anyone saying that will be taken seriously: you see it through the criminal's expression in the movie. #Reparations , #Reconciliation ... all these words should have weight, import: become almost sacred and not derides as "Letters from Santa Claus" like the #UN #UDHR
