Why shouldn’t I show all my work? Why should I select? Portfolio – the rest of my investigations past and present, the photo collections, painting type items, events, with fire and by myself, the old pottery and ware, little porcelain objects pulling for a breath of life, a segue into realistic human figures, just to drive it home to myself, the art as what i’m Doing, exposure of almost the whole thing.  this has to be an in-progress thing or I’ll never get to push the bright blue Publish button.

What would Tami say? ‘Omigawd just be yourself!” her be-bangled wrist waving my concerns away like a bad smell. I imagine her awayness as a witness protection new life. She warbles into view, basking on the pavers of her dream McMansion, sad only not to be able to tell me about it.
