The first time I saw this I kinda glanced at it and kept moving in a counterclockwise direction around the cute little lobby gallery at the HENRY with its quirky acquisitions. The second time I saw it, I took a moment to read the wall text and I said FUCKIN A+. The third time I saw it was on this day we call today, I took a picture to make it last longer, as you can see that’s me reflecting off the glass in the 20 ⅜” x 16 ⅜” x ¾” frame. I have been known to talk some shit about Kenny G but I believe they should rename Franklin High School——>Kenny G High and UW music should obviously be known as the University of Washington Kenny G School of Music. All that being said, this piece of artwork speaks to me on a 7 layer dip level. The artist is my age and cassette tapes were in our wheelhouses in our formative auto-reverse mix tape loop to loop years. And even though I’m just a square white kid from Spokane that played the violin in 3rd & 4th grade I hear what Jennie C Jones is saying… ...and I admire the way she's saying it.
