The New Bedford Psych Ship sails forth into radiant oblivion. Beyond sunswept skies into cloudfilled days. Goodbye summer, fall into winter into darkness. It's a good thing you decided to book voyage on this boat. Goodbye.

When you have given up all hope, when your stance shuffles, when you finally collapse onto the cold and damp forest floor, look out, look further...there it is "Patronas Field"
16" x 20" found, re-established, and no longer missing; ancient scrapings, sand, cork, tape, and spells/charms.

Waves of light and colour surround the sentient being. This scene was captured by incorporating a found paint-by-numbers artifact and up-cycling it to become something more than the worth of its original state. The sum of all parts does not always balance correctly. Hopefully. Yrs truly. JVR. 2014. Ohio. Lost in thought, wandering through life's layers. Always.

Summer 1978. The man sat quietly on a hot summer day, indoors, with fans oscillating all around him moving the warm air, but never quite cooling it. His fingers dashed quickly across some shitty paint by numbers kit purchased at the five and dime store earlier that same day. He was almost finished, he was finished. This piece remained forgotten for many years. He was no longer alive, but amassed quite a lot of these chintzy kids things. Years later, with no warning, a semi balding man in Ohio with a fleshy bump growing on the back of his awful head, picks up this same piece and begins his reanimating process. The piece turned, and he wish he had to. So many days had gone before him, where is he now? A sleepy little town next to a murky river surrounded by fireflies and thick air. Ah, yes, the piece is done. This one here I call "Memorytree" because so much has happened since its birth.

Coded for the skyframes. These beings below reach their arms up to the sky and pretend to exist. For a short time they did.
