...terrible things before. I've been here for a while now, and, during that time, there have been plenty of terrible things to stare at. And yet, the terror of those things has always seemed transient, as if I stared at them long enough (or simply turn my gaze), the terrible things would soon pass away. This, however, seems different. It was terrible once, and then it got better. There was hope. But now, well, I have never had to stare at something that seemed so promising but new seems desperate, even hopeless...
...wooden bird perched upon her head in both pictures looks robotic and menacing; since the bird she chose is native to New England, I wondered if the photographs represent an intersection of Cuba and Massachusetts that Campos-Pons perhaps has trouble reconciling. In the two outer photographs, the birds gaze out quizzically, as if asking you why you're so troubled by their treatment of the patient figure of the artist...
...humorless man deflated me. I thought about how mysterious and unaccountable laughter is, and how strange that an incapacity to laugh amounts to a disability. You almost avert your gaze...

...success to date (as well as in the foreseeable future) is that the three sisters are, to put it simply, gorgeous. Movie-star gorgeous. Stab-your-friend-in-the-back-for-their-smile gorgeous. And, yes, buy-their-assembly-line-trash-music gorgeous. Fight the impulse; if you must gaze at the Corrs, buy a poster, not their album. It's easier to stare at them when that bad pop music isn't distracting you anyhow...
