Built around the body of a friend, from the love letter Conception/Mis, which appears in Object of Desire. Conception/Mis recalls a tense conversation with the lover that took place in the kitchen, when the traveler expressed the determination to cross over to the parallel world in search of the lost treasure.
The peninsula hangs around the neck and down the back. The silver findings wrap around the rib cage and the single vertical line links the neck with the tip of the text at the tailbone. The work floats off the wall on pins.
Love letter 685.2/9: Conception/Mis
Sunset/SunriseBeloved,
Footprints left in the dust stretched into the distance. At the vanishing point I saw your face.
Your face, alone, floating. Bearing the same expression you wore when you realized I was
determined to take on the mission.I called it a mission, you called it a misconception.
Ever since I learned about the portal I've grown restless. Standing in the kitchen the day before I
crossed over: You pressed against the counter, staring in disbelief whenever I muttered treasure.
You looked out the window. Cement wall of the next building spilled grey light on the floor.
Emotions exploded silently. I edged toward the refrigerator to avoid the debris. You said nothing.
I said nothing. Your face faded. I faced forward.Yours forever
Your sunset/sunrise forever yours
Yours forever yours
