Artist's Statement


What if New York was completely covered by flooded water
What if the water receded
What if some people survived
What if I survived
What would be left behind
What if all we had left was the memory
What if all we had left was the skeleton of our city
Well I would start it all again
I would live where it all started Downtown
I would live in a whale carcass left behind
On St James Place
And I would go back to my secret places, hideouts
I would nurture the memory
I would connect with the people left behind
I would open a Pawn Shop and exchange gold
I would start a forum for rebuilding
I would keep in mind where we fucked up originally
I would try not to make the same mistake
That time is now
Where are you?
I am here.
