Coach Xena And The Captive
Motivational garage art on the wall nearest the weights, the mat, and the Exer-Rider.
I should dust off those barbells, huh?
The Captive: sculpture mix; brown and shino glazing; copper wire.
20-minute gestural exercise with live model. Old, old piece.
My favorite word--garsecg--from the Old English Beowulf is a kenning or poetic riddle-word for the sea. It means "the spear-man," perhaps the echo of a figure like the Norse Aegir or some other surly northern Neptune. In other texts, garsecg seems to be an adjective meaning "sea-like," "stormy" or "tempestuous."
