Beginning in Mid February, Magdalena Jarkowiec began a three week artist residency at the Luggage Store Annex. During that time she will create fabric homes for her Giant Mutant Dolls, life-size sculptures of sewn fabric that are stuffed with ordinary poly-fil. The residency will culminate in a show, “Dear Everybody, eat shit”.The title of the show, a private and humorous incantation, is a summary of the artist’s conflicting desires to have a place in the world, and to have the world leave her the hell alone. The dolls are a wild and imaginary resolution to that conflict: in their strangeness and absolute singularity they have no hope of having a place in the world, but they seem at ease in their exclusion. The dollhouses will emphasize that ease; they will allow the dolls to be seen without the dolls “showing themselves”. They will be seen in their own world.
I Have a Story I have a story to tell only you the details of which I just might embellish to wring a laugh from you or place the point in your heart then I'll lean on it softly Seven centuries past in a monastery in Japan you were my Master and also my lover I would have thrown my world over for your touch on my hand but you treated me coldly for the sake of the dojo I procured a rare treasure: scarlet silk from China intricately figured with barbarian songs I made you a garment of sober black lined with bright legends of a nomad flute In your ascetic pride you spurned the gift and spurned me I ran through the orchard my face cut by branches I stayed up all night praying before a dark brazier but the wounds would not heal and so I have waited, these Seven Hundred Years to give you my gift It has been changing its form yet is the same And I will drape you in my humble lies which can never be worthy

red dog
I dream of you
on my deathbed
if I say your name
no one will know
red dog gliding
over the dark mirror
of the night lake
the cold surface
the eclipsing moon
I'm so very proud of myself!!
