Inscriptions
inscribed by artist, top right of image: adopted by Blue Sky and she changed her name and her voice and gave birth to my
dad and said farewell for far too long. I only knew them in their distance, a mutual hate
and a mutual love, brought about by a great violence. I feel sorry for fatherchild.
