Perimeter Gallery
Charles Kurre Did...Did not. Could...Could not. Should...will not. A song of reamins, the glib fascination, a party trick to entertainCharles Kurre Winding toward the hardest part. Piecing together the pieces os the seams don't show, rearranged in a whole new way, and now suitable for a walk in the park and a good night's sleepCharles Kurre Simply an even number, concentric cirlces, and the odd wind blowing, all confounded my rectangle swimming the river running wild. Charles Kurre There was this thing, years in development and leading to wilderness. Once there, a make good notion and waving arms in the arm, 2011 Charles Kurre It's how things go, skipping over missed references and landing on mistaken points. So pick me up, and put me down. Time for a holiday of sorts, when the end is higher than the sun.Charles Kurre You are not an airplane, flying for forgiveness, trying to speak as to save the world, smacking of sweetness and gone. So how much for your wings, my dear?Charles Kurre he "when" in whenever. The "if" in if I could. It's thinking thoughts of white noise, sounding like music.,Charles Kurre Trace elementals capturing undying love without thought or consequence, arranged on a grid of passing fancy.Charles Kurre These people keep moving around, following every footsteps shadow with the romance of obstruction dripping from their lips, knotted and trailing linesCharles Kurre The curatin of finite sin. It could be your tongue licking the soft spots, smelling of flowers, reading poetry, and singing a popular song, and as I dressed up that one time, then a second, feeling dizzy like falling rain.Charles Kurre Wonderland. The confirmation of duties while everything is different and the feeling of reality and imagination are completely mixed.
