An archival pigment print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag matte paper, printed and shipped by a local fine art printer.

Each painting in this series is the companion to a poem from my full-length poetry collection, Cosmic Tantrum. Each shares a title with the original poem, and includes an excerpt from the text in paper cutouts. This is “The Content Is Supposed to Burst from the Container.”

The text reads:

*

To know the void

is to know

*

almost nothing.

*

(The text of the full poem is available here, courtesy of Dream Pop.)
