Trap Paintings

Michelle Uckotter

At A.D. Gallery, New York

August 21 – September 27, 2020

the golden dawn
the golden bough

the cool fluorescence
of a Walgreens aisle

Stone piled on stone

Dollar on dollar

Depression cloud upon cloud

moon vapor could have been urine

mildly daily psychedelic

heartracer the gulf gutter

cobble of milky way

Dreams of subversion

Fossils stiletto fossils
grind the streambeds

psychotropic datura and bricolage
can get you high

Rip rap, rock armor

wish upon the movement

a falling leaf motif on a manicured nail

outside the forest and onto the sidewalk

before the century
an invisible staircase to your left

into the shadow her own element
