I wanted a hundred times to kill myself, but I still loved life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our most macabre tendencies: for is there anything more silly than to continually want to carry a burden that one can always throw to the ground?

-Voltaire, Candide

Of course it might have been some other city, had circumstances been different and the time been different and had I been different, might have been Paris or Chicago or even San Francisco, but because I am talking about myself I am talking here about New York.

-Joan Didion, "Goodbye to All That"

For my first show in New York, I present a farewell to the city, my adopted home. Three years here with a rain cloud lurking over my head and I am just beginning to discern its outlines; it looks suspiciously like a forlorn, tear-soaked Papaya Dog. Sometimes a change of scenery is the only way to quiet a fussy baby.

I'll be gone when the coconut oil solidifies.

Love forever,

Liz Englander
