Not For Sale

Tied lines. I wasn't so much talking about the phone, but about how I imagined the conversation was going. When was the last time anyone used a payphone? Do they still work? What do they cost to use anyway? The only phone number that I half-way remember is my own, Information and 911. Calling my own mother on a payphone might be a challenge. Whenever[...]
Tied lines. I wasn't so much talking about the phone, but about how I imagined the conversation was going. When was the last time anyone used a payphone? Do they still work? What do they cost to use anyway? The only phone number that I half-way remember is my own, Information and 911. Calling my own mother on a payphone might be a challenge. Whenever I see one it looks like some kind of strange relic from a not-so-distant past. Growing up I remember seeing people using them; at bus stops and airports. Now, they are antiques more often then not missing the actual receiver. Weird.

Oberlin has always been an artist, developing a love for fountain pens at an early age and deciding to train both hands to draw. They had heard adults talk about a spooky thing called ‘arthritis’. The artist is now ambidextrous.

Oberlin began having seizures and was diagnosed with epilepsy during their freshman year of college. Art helped tremendously. 

Some of Oberlin’s paintings come from sketches. Some of the paintings are scenes and shapes that mutate from color. The commonality is expression. The sketches themselves come from dreams and conversations. Some of these ideas have ruminated for months or years. Others happened in a flash.

Any of the art that you see may have since been painted over, traded, donated, given away, eaten, burned, buried or destroyed.
