Special event this Wednesday

MOLLY ROTH
GOOD HUSTLE

This ceiling installation will be on view for a very long time
Opening reception Wednesday July 22nd, 7 - 9 pm

If I were to ask you to stay, I would embarrass myself. I want to, I always want to, but it means that I need you, that I need something, and I want to be something that needs nothing. I want to be solid, unflappable, impermeable, able to withstand all forms of loss with a stoic grace because that is the ideal. But I can’t. I want to beg and sob and pound my fists and refuse and make sounds like an animal. But I can’t do that either. I know about the inevitability of transience. I want to honor it, quietly, with effort, while I shake on the inside with everyone else.
