When your mother texts, "The end is near"

Meeting point (5.5x8in., etching) & j'en ai rêvé (8x11in., spraypaint monoprint)

The End Is Near These are the last days. Serotonin uptake is  at an all-time high.  And the end is near. Can you imagine your life  without grocery stores? And the end is here. Breaking News: architect of   dangerous narratives. Climate change is here. We were the medicine that attacked the earth’s lungs. All the pain ends here.  Opioid of the masses.   Do no harm. Hardly. Stay inside your home. Social distancing in the age of viral vids. Wear a mask in case of: germs, tear gas, the impulse to shop or riot. The solution’s clear: Did you try turning it off and back on again? Peak oil is here. The mannequin party gets  crashed by test dummies.
