This work was painted in my 6th-floor apt., at 123 Ludlow Street in the Lower East Side in 1985. At the time I did not understand the significance of painting the number 1991 at the time. It was exhibited at the Bond Gallery, on Bond Street, in the Bowery, NYC in 1986. . The painting shows a body descending or rising from a grave, in a forest with two trees with hourglass chew marks. In the night sky over the scene floats a magic carpet with the number 1991. At the time I was friends with Jean Michael Basquiat and on a visit, he sat in my small living room/studio as I completed the night sky, he asked me what it was about and I told him I didn't know because it wasn't important to me. The work as a premonition painting. Created in 1985 and the rebirth event was my leaving my art partners Fastwurms in 1991 in order to go to India and what ushered in the end of a twelve year collaborative international art spree and a re-invention decade of the 90s.
