Pancetta paintings Thu Oct 22, 2009
5x7 cm
image image

This new series called Pancetta Paintings are a synthesis of the “Meat Paintings” and “Pocket Universe” paintings. They are life size portraits of meat, and so studies in mortality and consumption. They are also, as the Pocket Universes are, conceptual: An intimate objectification of infinity.
The Pancetta Paintings are pieces of actual humility. Figurative and abstract, fleeting mortal reductions. Their life, like a photograph, consists of the instant of their exposure and imprint. Then they dissolve.
They are Snowflakes of pork, ad infinitum. There is nothing iconic here, they are just pieces.
The subject for these seven pieces was guanciale form Corsica.
The paintings are in oil on stretched canvas, 5 x 7 cm each. 2009.

On Starry Skies

What do we look to the sky to but
Transcendence & destination, Both destiny and guidance
Night is coming to terms, and discovering magic roads to the end and beginning
They marked many a passage, united seafarers
Making Jesus and Ra somehow kings of some
under

so I made it so I can hold it
It’s hot, It passes too quickly, and one turns cold and another fades away.
I wish, scientifically, I could explain or wish away
A Doubt of Facts
But Often I dare not face it.

Infinite, yes, massive against our Who-chimes
A tin beep in the pulse of a flea, dear

To Humbug and Pooh brought these little
Things you can’t eat, un-sweet
windows, like the lake that stares back
To you
like out at sea.

Any Thing can Only be about the Past
everything I own is
A gift.


The stars that night you and I didn’t sleep and
skies were one forever
On a balcony, on a golf course, just running drunk with you, (blind,) through “Campo”
Or on a lonely eclipse
You watching soaps
the end and the beginning in English and Spanish
skyward, pulls out of that heap .
Who wouldn’t jump?

In the drift, splattered caring and scattering
Our unusual particles of defied reason
Somehow resettle and make me and make, naturally, you

Quite right—to fill with emptiness, sure
I understand your fear, but listen: it’s like a campfire

Glowing solace for the innocent and
The damned cowboys

Bodies telling bodies what words have already
