“You can’t take a bad picture of Debbie Harry” - Bob Gruen.
Debbie Harry, New York City. By Bob Gruen, 1977.
A rare early 18th century Memento Mori band gold known as a skeletal, as the whole length of the skeleton is employed on the outside of the hoop, with other emblems. The earliest known example is dated 1659. This ring is enamelled in black with a full skeleton, twin hearts for love and an hourglass, symbolic of the passage of time and the brevity of life.
Someone I’ve been ignoring for the past few years sent me a message at 9 o’clock this morning. I know that isn’t all that early, but I still thought it was strange that anyone would be thinking about me at 9 o’clock in the morning. Especially someone that I never think about at all.
Artist’s statement:
“The world seems to me increasingly incomprehensible, and there are times when I feel there isn’t anything that I know for certain. For me, making photographs (or painting, or whatever) is necessary to translate the unintelligible reality of being into a more coherent form. Or at least to illustrate my best guesses. There is vastly more nothing in the universe than something, and I try to create images that recognize the grace by which anything at all exists.”
