Audile: “In Rushing Black Tunnels”
In rushing black tunnels where the metal worms glide through the sticky warm night. The thousands of hundreds on the platform, each going their separate ways. No one will pick up their heavy heads to see the world. We never see the world like the grey people all with their same grey shoes and grey looks on their faces. We see the world in music. The trees sing to us in a sweet serenade of power and resistance. The cats on the windowsills chant beauty and strength. But the people never see this hidden world underneath their apartments and racecars. They hear the noise but not the song.

Audile: List of intriguing A words found in dictionary
Here is a list of A words I painted during an artist residency at the MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire in 2006. I spent two amazing, exhausting weeks reading the dictionary, searching for words that intrigued me and that I thought would inspire interesting visual responses. Susan and I chose audile from this list for the Abecedarium:NYC project because it seemed to speak to our auditory sensibilities which at times get ignored in the world of the visual artist.

Audile: New Asha Sri Lankan Restaurant, Staten Island
A few nights ago, I drove to Staten Island to look for one of our city’s most dynamic ethnic communities. Between 4,000 and 5,000 Sri Lankans live on the island, and they have worked hard to preserve as much of their culture as possible. While I sat eating fish, lentil cookies and vegetable pastries, I noticed that this small, steam table restaurant is far more than a place to buy a meal. Over the course of our one-hour meal, at least 20 people popped in to pick up some much needed snacks from the restaurant’s owner, a much loved, utterly charismatic woman who stands like a gracious queen behind her counter. The neighboring grocery store is equally friendly, functioning as a Sri Lankan sundry for most of its customers and a sort-of anthropological museum for the few other people who happen to stop by. If you listen to our audile recording, you will hear the owner of the grocery welcoming his customers.
