About the artist Alex C. born October 1975 – deceased May or June 1994 (he can't remember the exact date) and again on 24 March 2005 is some sort of awkward container for restless things that don’t fit anywhere.

Godel's Ghost We, the aged fragments of hope, fear, love and loss, on this last tree wait, watching vultures devour their last meal. The desert before us stretches from dreams to desire. Your eyes burn, pierce the horizon, wager its curve. None: there’s no return. Some: we meet ourselves again. … as withered plants wager only on rain. … You wait for Godel’s ghost to recant, I wait for you. © Sylvia Silberger and Bill Larsen 2007 Note: Godel was a logician from the early 20th century.
