THE LAST GARAGE SALE
On the table is presented a life, the objects which represent the forming of a life and mind. At once the event is both a celebration of that life and the objects which influenced it, and also a letting go, a release. The objects presented are both sacred and common at once. In this last supper, the objects are revered, loved, acknowledged and farewelled. On the left, a little bi-plane enters the scene, and on the right, a BELL X-1 takes off, the first plane to fly faster than the speed of sound.
