First I hold the entire universe in my mind then I paint by Mirena Rhee

First I hold the beginning in my mind and then I paint,

I hold all the black holes in my mind,

And then I paint,

I hold all the trees in my mind and then I paint,

I hold the entire universe all the planets all the galaxies slowly spiraling away,

I hold all the space in between,

And then I look at my brushstrokes from the previous day,

They have little ridges just like the rocks,

And I am like thats funny.

I'm totally fucking alone.

My job is to see by Mirena Rhee

My job is to really see.

Painting is seeing.

I'm glad someone is looking at this particular part of the universe.

I want to make sure that at least one creature in the universe is seeing this thing properly. All its details and play of light and shadow and three dimensional shapes.
