SAM MOYER, Light Switch, 2021.
all I can say is: what a beaut of a brute / brutalist / minimalist / chip-off-a-surface . . light switch !!
but, still – a story tale unfolds !!
ps: peeking in at the right, a peep of a WILLIE JINKS naive / brute painting . . in the SHRINE presentation – around the corner.
SAM MOYER, ‘Light Switch’.
yes !!
a story tale, albeit more along the lines of . . HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN !!
‘The Snow Queen’, ‘The Ice Virgin’ / the brittle, dark icy north, and the dark, dark sea.
I wonder if Ms. Moyer would object, if I termed her . . the ‘Ice Queen of Governors Island’ . . ?!!
I mean, what’s a watery rock outcrop – of an island / without a myth, a mermaid, or a snow queen.
with a tough, hard stance, a cold, cold heart – but a heart, that’s chipping away, slowly.
would she get mad – if I called her: SAMMY . . LA BETE ?
SAMMY the SNOW QUEEN . . . ?
her work is just so f-cking hard, and tough & . . . wistful.
