Book IV: After the Flood
Chapter V: Reaching Out to Smooth and Polish

Moving On

Identities formed
by the grafted-on evils of others
who in turn have been formed
by the grafted-on evils of others
who in turn…
…
…
…
by transformation (purging) in rituals

Moving on
Past the grafted-on identity

No coincidence
January 13, 1962 - hell
January 13, 1997 - discovery
Art as a collective
Experience. Start
On monument quilt.

Not the tortured rumblings of an
Abused individual

Not the expression of repression of
The spirit by oppression

A clear clean collective experience
