This is the third and last of the Lee Hansley Gallery paintings. It looks washed out but thats actually the glaze. You can see how it’s not faded at the edges.

When we talk about “searching” these days, we’re almost always talking about using Google to find something online. That’s quite a twist for a word that has long carried existential connotations, that has been bound up in our sense of what it means to be conscious and alive. We don’t just search for car keys or missing socks. We search for truth and meaning, for love, for transcendence, for peace, for ourselves. To be human is to be a searcher.
[…]
In its new design, Google’s search engine doesn’t push us outward; it turns us inward. It gives us information that fits the behavior and needs and biases we have displayed in the past, as meticulously interpreted by Google’s algorithms. Because it reinforces the existing state of the self rather than challenging it, it subverts the act of searching. We find out little about anything, least of all ourselves, through self-absorption.

My mind was slowly erasing him from my memory, but then my foolish heart would go in and clumsily re-draw the parts that were missing, naively adding color to the areas I should have just let fade. I was re-creating him as I wished to remember, because here’s the thing about memory, it’s all made up.

I shall be useful when I lie down finally: then the trees may touch me for once, and the flowers have time for me.

I’m always going to be a really sensitive person. I’m always going to feel and hurt a lot and be really worried about everything. Maybe I won’t be so ashamed now of being that way. Before I said, ‘I want to make it cool to be sad.’ And now that sounds really weird to me. I don’t want to make it cool to be sad anymore, I just want it to be okay.
