#gritty
Musical instruments, personal electronics, and home entrances are modified with soot, coarse corundum, and unrefined metals. The photographs center on tactile degradation, replacing smooth vinyl, brass, and glass with abrasive grinding surfaces and heavy tractor exhaust pipes.
Does memory always grind instead of sing?
Will triumphant fanfares choke on heavy smoke?
Who flattened the tenderness of home?
Does every welcome mat puncture our trust?
Which cuff binds tighter, wool or steel?
Can a jagged thought still bleed poetry?
Can you soak away a day this heavy?
Does every lather leave a scar?
What fuels the burden of elegance?
Is your heaviest baggage built to stay?
Does every milestone taste of burnt rubber?
How heavy is a slice of forever?
Does every passing minute turn the screw?
Must a clean smile cut this deep?
