A man I know sent me a message that said "come to my house“.

He didn’t mean his actual house, he meant the tree in the park

where we had met on several occasions. Once when I met

him there he said in his limited English "this is my house".

I replied "this is our house". We laughed.

The opportunity to do this show happened very quickly.

Norbert came to my studio a few weeks ago and

brought some poets with him named Francis Ponge

and TS Eliot. I showed him a group of paintings based on

a color from a memory as well as some paintings from drawings

I made at my parents and also in Tbilisi. While in Denmark

this week I made a drawing with some wild berries.

When I scraped the berries off back in Berlin, they said to me

as I dusted them into the trash, be generous with your work.

Be generous with your work. Come to my house.

I will show you my God.
