There are a few constant loves in my life. When I invest my devotion in something (or someone) I am relentless in its longevity. Nick Cave is and has been my favorite Singer/Songwriter/Composer/Performer since I first heard the Tender Prey LP in 1989 on a cassette tape through a boombox positioned on top of the refrigerator during a midnight gathering at the Haight Street apartment affectionately referred to as the "Flop House". I stopped dead in my tracks and have since paid close attention to everything this guy has to say. Measuring the Truth, 2016 assemblage, 24" x 30" x 5" (Sold) "And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I’m yearning To be done with all this measuring of truth. An eye for an eye And a truth for a truth And anyway I told the truth But I’m afraid I told a lie" -THE MERCY SEAT NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS, 1988 #nickcave #badseeds #sickbreathofmyhind #mercyseat #measuringthetruth #eyeforaneye #toothforatooth #truthforatruth #notafraidtodie #faceofjesusinmysoup #truth #measureofaman #devotedfan #inspiredbylyrics #inspiredbymusic #assemblage #assemblageart #assemblageartist #foundobjectart #diannehoffmanart #devotion https://www.instagram.com/p/CZpTN4TpGYt/?utm_medium=tumblr
