we shall see

my fingers dirty with pastels…
an inch of ash clings to my forgotten cigarette.
it has been awhile since the figure has appeared in my work
aside from sketchbook fantasies…

i established 3 guidelines for these pieces,
they each must have:
1. an element of struggle

2. an element of metamorphosis
3. an element of blossoming


come, follow follow follow
follow follow follow me!
whither shall i follow
follow follow,
whither shall i follow
follow thee?
to the greenwood, to the greenwood, to the greenwood, greenwood tree!
