My Recent Submission to the Whitney Museum of American Art

For complete context, take a look at the post immediately before this one.  The Whitney got a more basic cross (right, I know - even MORE basic!), but then I tucked it inside a CA state park fee envelope, sealed it, and called it something like "Black Cross Inside CA State Park Fee Envelope".  So the next time you are at the Whitney, keep an eye out.  Wednesday, January 27th, 2021, Cathedral Hill, San Francisco.

"First and Second Black Crosses on Torn Pabst Packaging"

So what I was going to DO was make two little crosses, one for me and one for the Whitney (see subsequent post), but then Danielle walked out and was like, "What are you doing with those? Can I have them?" (Or words to that effect.)  So, you know, I gave them to her.  That's black painter's tape on the torn Pabst.  One's like 3.25 x 2.25 and the other 2.5 x 2.25.  Wednesday, January 27th, 2021, Cathedral Hill, San Francisco.

A Supreme Being and the Age of Consent

Look, I'll I'm saying is that in regard to a potentially unwanted advance by a Supreme Being on a fourteen year old girl, I just think that maybe that Supreme Being could have demonstrated better judgement and shown some real leadership in terms of respecting the age of consent, that's all.
