Dream Drawing
[ 1. I was having someone transfer a dream landscape that looked like my dog’s gums. 2. I was drawing in ball point pen. (A) A man who has occasional puffballs in his flesh, pulling strips of skin down his body. (B) A cooked bird whose interior & blood were black. (C) A flooded office with someone drowning in it. A T.V. commercial for a yeast infection cure where a black woman is saying how the product cured her & her friends say she’s a slut. Marnie sneezes and it sounds like « I told you so » so I joke & continue her sentence with « I’m leaving » & she doesn’t laugh. On the floor is a one-level magazine stand including this « New Yorker » where a black woman is showing off her plastic surgery to remove her eyebrows, nose, & lips, apparently a satire of a non-existent trend in black beauty. 4. A statue of Lida and the swan, except the swan is a saw. 5. I’m working on a dream drawing of four indifferentiated, grey women statuettes on a plate in the lawn when batman comes up & yells at us for not taking out the garbage. Marnie was mad because a woman friend of mine was there.], 1996

I had some original art from spiderman which had 2 spidermen crawling around the panels, across each other so it looked like they were having sex. ], 1995
