“I always begin by spray painting words as part of intention setting. I started this painting with ‘Good Person.’ I usually fully redact the words, but the ‘G’ and the ‘-on’ by the starburst form is still visible. ‘Come Home’ is from an ad for a queer resource center in New York in the nineties. It really resonated with me. I’m so far from home. Some days it’s all I can think about—the expanse of the sky and earth in the desert.”—GRP
