Whitewashed Again Lyrics

Whitewashed, a composition

As of lime and water

Or of whitening

Size, and water, used for whitening walls

Woodwork, etc

Whitewashed, anything as deceptive

Words or actions used

To cover up or gloss over

Faults, errors, wrongdoings

Absolving a wrongdoer from blame

Whitewashed again, textured paintings with layers

Of acrylic paint, enamel and other media

Building up buried layers covered with washes

Hiding what's underneath

Leaving remnants and hints

Of former paintings

Compositions gone, still there

Destructive histories, mysteries

Foundations unseen

Integral holes

Text-based words and phrases

Embedded in soil, earth, dirt

Environmental, cultural

References, rants

Responses, reflections

Slogan-like memes, releases

Cathartic, letting go, burying, hiding, cover-up

Soiled, swept under

Coats of paint, Whitewashed surfaces

A relief, a geography of rough terrain, a toxic

Topography

Of meaning, of meaning lost

Thinking backwards again

Fears of the other, Flights to the familiar

Plastic convenience, Plastic bags, nails on canvas

Glitter glue! glitter glue

Cumulative effects

Plastic shopping bags

Unforeseeable ignorance

Awareness deficits, Bubbles and comfort zones

Big, huge, irresponsible

Forsaken

Acrylic, enamel, soil, grass

On canvas, panel, and wood frame

Daniel Kirkoff, $800

Smoked, mirrored, and hoodwinked

You gave me my tomorrows

High ratings, mass manipulations

Buying it, $800

The Whitewash Series

Building walls, burning crosses

Glitter glue on canvas

Crude, smug, fake, a triptych

Up and over again and again

Gesso, spray enamel

Soil, twig, upholstery tacks

Dominant culture denials

Mixed media on hardboard

isolation, ignorance, inequity

I, I, I

Isolation, Ignorance, Inequity

I, I, I

Segregations and Suppressions

Megachurches and Monstrous Disparities

Conservative, Rampant, Wasteful, Military Spending

Glitter glue, soil, enamel, acrylic, gesso

Whitewashed again
