Have you ever loved the body of a woman?/Have you ever loved the body of a man?/Do you not see that these are exactly the same to all in all nations/and times all over the earth?

'Surely whoever speaks to me in the right voice,
him or her I shall follow,
As the water follows the moon, silently,
with fluid steps anywhere around the globe.’– Walt Whitman, Vocalism, Leaves of Grass, 1855

The individual #triptych panels of
"The Typesetter's Song"#Whitman's lifelong practice of revision and reworking resonated with my #process of excerpted #text defining the surface structure & #colorfield, which resonate through the layers of #painting changes. It's safe to say that I might've continued to #paint if it didn't ship.
