SEASON is proud to present FINGERS THAT TOUCH THE SKY, a show of paintings and drawings by Shannon McConnell, a visual artist and musician living in Seattle. His oil paintings of characters in transfiguration blend a fantasy situation with garage punk animism. As a musician, Shannon was a member of The Fall-Outs, The Pulses and has worked with The Outcasts and El Vez. His paintings have been shown along the West Coast as well as in Prague, Czech Republic. This is Shannon’s second show with the gallery.
I know how to turn the cameras off and make it so no one will see.
I can mute the microphones and everything posted will fall, this record will end.
I gotta find a way to get their attention and make them understand. Desley is my only chance and he’s probably not Desley anymore. He’s behind the bar bartending and ignoring me. He’s gone like the others. He sees what he thinks he wants to see and listens to what he has already heard. I have a story about what happened but no one listens.
Memories are so fragile to begin with, I want to keep this one.
