ON OCTOBER 31ST 2020 SAM FISH CRIES OUT
SOS : CONTACT ME : BEFORE I EXIT :
Sharing his ephemeral occupation of vacant storefronts in Boston—
as a way out; attempts to stealthily dodge defined lines drawn between artist & gallery.
He invites you to hop the fence
into his human greenhouse—
always under construction,
always nearing demolition.
a three-dimensional glass cave,
speeding through 2020.
His temporarily assembled immersive frameworks expressing
to street stranger passerby, future lovers—
a characterized self reflection,
collaged & layered diary of
drawings, paintings, installation—
a patterned portrait lingering openly
in here & now
like fading marks
on steam covered glass
before dissipating as memory.
His graphic explorations aim to connect
stronger unbreakable chains of love—
between humans, isolated, anxious in an unknown future.
Trying, in each viewing moment,
to capture light from distant eyes—
drawn close outside his glass
before it shatters.
Hoping these brief moments along his fast twirling path
paved with fear, flaw, desire & dream
urge yours to unfurl, ahead,
spreading further light
as gorgeous new fire.
& Roaring with the breath of many,
forge a new way out,
a new future,
in the face of doom.
