dedications

an old woman is walking up
a street in brooklyn, new york
pushing a black shopping cart.
the street has gardens in front
of the houses with trees and
flowers growing out of the gardens
she becomes the figure in the video
in which the backgound of gardens
sidewalk and wrought iron fences
has been replaced with a solid color.
a RIF 6 cube projector sits inside
a wire frame with a beige colored
nylon ankle sock stretched over the
cage. the cube projects the video of the
old Woman Pushing Shopping Basket
onto a 'beigey flesh' colored stocking
onto the stretched nylon ankle sock.

this is the alleged spider
long legged ambulate
across sedge
clustered about
invert

the lot is empty
the grass has been mowed
the horse has been fed
the sky is grey

Pappajohn Sculpture Park has nothing to do with
Papa Johns Pizza.
John Pappajohn is a businessman from Mason City, Iowa.
He and his wife Mary contributed 29 art works from their
collection to the park.
The park is centrally located in Des Moines, Iowa.
It is a beautiful place to sit,
stroll and even picnic in downtown Des Moines.
The Pappajohn's have also donated millions of dollars
to many philanthropic causes. John Schattner is the
founder and ex CEO of Papa Johns Pizza,
corporate headquarters Louisville, Kentucky.
