This building, which I saw for the first time over a year ago, is nothing short of miraculous.
So perfect and intricate are its colorful and varying degrees of decay, the fabric disintegrated to threads, the papered-over windows water stained and peeling, the rusted hinges, the empty places where windows once were.
It stands alone in a neighborhood of big white houses. Like a frail, naked old woman in a room full of hapless people wearing white tee shirts and jeans. No one will look at her, but she is as beautiful as she is delicate.

"i pensieri seguono il filo sottile delle ore
lo spazio ingoia il resto.
(intanto
le partenze sono i piccoli drammi del quotidiano
ma basterà seguire il sentiero per fare ritorno)."

I've been really fortunate for getting projects I love. Spent a week in my studio creating graffiti tags and stencil illustrations for a big national client. Excited to share the work when it's done in a few weeks time. Stay tuned.
