Day Five, the last of your fasting in the Iron Maiden. Your toes full of salt, you are joyfully contemplating having come full circle to the completion of your journey with La Parca. The Solutio has come to a triumphant conclusion. You know this because your spirit is soaring. It seems like eons have passed since the day last week you arrived at the gallery to discuss the installation with Matt and ran into John on the street who invited you to lunch. After telling you about what went down at the hotel over the fervor of My Sweet Lord, you launched into a conversation about The Passion, he told you that he wanted you to perform your passion. What is The Passion? It is the death and resurrection of Jesus to the Catholics, he replies, but what is it to you? And so, through the process of surrendering to the Iron Maiden, The Passion began to unfold. Day Five. Your last day of fasting in the Iron Maiden and your spirit is soaring. The King and Queen have had their intercourse and their souls have arisen to engage in the cycle of vapor, dew, fountain and now the Tsunami as the hieros gamos spreads from the Lab gallery to the world! Let us recount the steps that brought us to the successful completion of the Solutio. It can be written as a Sumerian epic of symbol writing, like Michael Manning’s Contradictions series of paintings that are complete unto themselves, yet interconnected with the whole. But that residue of the Great Work is left to the Coagulatio! For now, have your brother’s wedding to go to and your train leaves in a little over an hour. So, you will take your Selma Karaca melon “go anywhere do anything dress” off the wall with the silk slip dress for underneath and brush the salt off the golden slippers with the hot pink neon tie and bury your Mercury in the purified Sulfur under the Salt of the Iron Maiden and your off with your carpet bag to a Vietnamese night before the wedding Tea Party where the bride wears Red! Some looking from outside the window would say this exhibition is solely about dresses and that is OK. No matter where we go or what we do…we always need something to wear!

The Coagulatio will take place from June 17 – 23.
