Monument


Old saying: "Rome was not built in a day."

Do these sayings become old simply through time, through a combination of time and truth, or because each use adds another brick to the wall upholding it?

He leans toward the brick-laying theory. He is an artist in the masonry of tearing down, rather than building up. It is brick by brick of pain, degradation, and depersonalization that he creates monuments out of living women.

Laying foundations: he chooses his target as a builder chooses a site worthy of his edifice. He titles each new project as an architect would: "Among the Missing", "She Always Calls on Sunday Night", "Come Home, Honey". Leveling and clearing the land comes through sensory deprivation. Once the way is unobstructed, he creates the new masterpiece by laying in obedience, deference, cravings... act by act, stone by stone.

Until there is only a well-constructed, hollow shell. To what use the new owner puts the shell is not the business of the architect. Each interior is designed to suit.

He is, after all, a creator of monuments.
