People Lying Prone in a Brackish Backwater Waiting for the Moon Painting

People Lying Prone in a Brackish Backwater Waiting for the Moon There's an old story about a village of fisherman waging war against the wind by enlisting a skate. For those of you who can't call to mind the features of a skate it's a flat fish that resembles a stingray. The fisherman were chapped at the wind for always blowing their shit around and making life a blustery cluster cuss so they threw down and, with the help of the skate, defeated the wind or at least retreated the wind by relegating it's activities to certain seasons. Why and how a skate? you might ask. Because the skate looks ominous from above and below but is very hard to detect from the sides it can elude attackers and be a slippery customer. But that's not the point really. No. The point is that this is a myth and it serves the imagination by expanding resolution beyond reason; beyond recognition of the commonplace or everyday way of making sense of things. Like chopping off the Kings elbows and burying them in Buffalo manure so that ears of corn can proliferate. Or Persephone developing Stockholm syndrome and wintering with her captor in the underworld. Unless painting is illustration it's meaning is not imparted in an exact 'this means that' declarative spreadsheet. At best it will speak in tongues and shape shift and, like the skate, will be totally different from one view to the next.
