I first became aware of Mary Frank through this photo and shortly after came the idea that I should build a time machine.
Mary Frank, a renowned beauty, was photographed by many famous photographers. It turns out that is not a terribly useful thing as most people are more interested in famous photographers. But most people are boring so we shouldn’t worry too much.
Mary is an Artist and has been making art since the 1950′s, and still does today.
Mary is also a time traveler and I think I have come across her more than once in the last 1000 years.
Untitled (Prone Man, Two Trees) touches me. The Prone Man is as charcoal black and burnt as the Two Trees. Does he lie in the blue stream in an attempt (although too late) to quell the fire of his ambition?
The land the man and trees occupy is small but appears to be part of a larger continent.
The outline to the East is familiar. It is a map of a coast I have seen in a dream, of a land where time travelers come ashore.
