~JERRY BLACKMAN . . ‘PSYCHIC SNIP’ / PENINSULA / RED HOOK / OPENS SUN NOV 17
“To snip is to exact a procedure of light maintenance – a controlled & mostly benign operation of precision violence.
It’s a visit to the barber shop or the remedy for an unraveling thread. The snip also refers to the stuff of surgery,
of birth and ritual: the episiotomy, the umbilical cord, the foreskin. Trauma & catharsis beget our psycho-spiritual conditions.
We grow we injure we heal. The scars are exit wounds but sometimes the shrapnel can remain.”
~Peninsula
