Well, gee, it’s been a while. Enough about that. 

You know how some things keep coming around again? 

Well, prayer ties, of a sort, have been in my work for a long while.

i use to, + again, print them onto tattered fabric strips + cinch them around iron bars + tree limbs while on walk abouts around NYC. Whenever i visited a museum, a library, a park. Places i felt needed a tie for someone to serendipitously find.

i remember securing them to platform bars near subway artist’s work. Herring's early work was around at the time. The subways would blow by making them float up  sending the prayers into the tunnel system.

Here are a few below, as i’ve just been reworking them into a small folded books of flyers to be cut up. 

Cut & Scatter Prayer Ties; 

If you don’t want it to be true, change it.

It’s not important to have reasons all of the time.  

Be prepared for cliffs + sharp moments. 

Response / responsible / responsibility. 

Be sure of distance, + space will become flat.

Truth can never be repeated, because it can't be stated once + for all. 

There you go. Something to chew on.
