this text appears within the drawing:

noli me tangere

A line is nothing compared to the dream that called it into being
A line more than what we say of its dream

"Sad presentiments of what must come to pass."
The better it will be for us.

LET'S GO

the burden of feeling
evangelization of the economy
explosion and martyrdom of people and things
Hatred and ambiguity
the footprint of Annihilation--
the Beam of Joy
silence is guilt
no way to speak the enormity
More than the image it is the answer--
More than the answer it is the effort--
More than the spectacle the failure

Field 2 endnote:

"Let's Go:" this drawing was completed in February 2003, in anticipation of war. The tapestry reproducing Picasso's "Guernica" was draped in the UN Security Council chamber in preparation for US Secretary of State Powell's visit. His false and transparently coercive presentation to the General Assembly has now been revealed as a marketing ploy for a war no one in the world truly wanted.
