I think that’s two tiny figures, male and female ? at the lower left hand side.
big, big seascape.
anybody else remember ‘BOATEL’, it was MAY 2012 and KELIE had a boat / really a floating ‘hotel’ room – to decorate. her boat was called . . SHE-WOLF. you just don’t miss with SHE-WOLF.
she will eat you up, and spit – you out.
and you won’t know if you are dead, or . . alive.

MARINA 59, ROCKAWAY. just 3 summers ago.
yet, seems so . . far-away.
here’s a few ‘don’t look back’ – pix:
KELIE’S boat – the SHE-WOLF. Kelie was really getting into triangles by then, and . . the reflections of light, and water.
STO and KELIE, inside the bluest of the blue . . on the blue, blue waters.
ah, life. let’s not even go there. but beautiful things. like Cinders . . can ‘a-rise’ from the craziest of situations. it’s called, taking a leap of faith, jumping right smack into that Big Apple art game, into the ‘underground’.
or: ‘under the volcano’ – as we like to call it.
CINDERS is back in town, up and running as CINDERS HAUSCLUB, in the CA/CA – CENTER FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF CONTEMPORARY ART BLDGING, 700 LORIMER ST, 2nd floor.
appointment only – except for the openings.
Kelie’s – small triangle / bio-design drawing – in the forward hatch of the boat.
