1. Untitled (2006) by Ellen Gallagher. I encountered this untitled painting for the first time on the cover of Dawn Lundy Martin’s book Good Stock Strange Blood (Coffee House Press, 2017). I still remember submerging into the painting for the first time while hearing Martin read from the book at her launch. The relationship between visual art and poetry was incomparable and brought me to the conclusion that paintings and poems might not be entirely different genres.
2. (2002) by is an orchestra of currents, conflicts, infrastructures, philosophical shifts, time, and motion. The multiplicity here tethers me to the endless cultural synergies building our infinite now.
