"I'm Okay, You're Okay",2016
I'm Okay, You're Okay is an abstract series inspired by a section of John Gallaher's "In a Landscape."
"The book I'm OK, You're OK was floating around the house
when I was a kid. It was the 1970s, you know? The author, Thomas Harris,
postulates that the brain records past experiences
like a tape recorder, and keeping to the simple math, comes up with four
"life positions" that each of us may take. The four positions are: 1.
I'm Not OK, You're OK; 2. I'm Not OK, You're Not OK; 3.
I'm OK, You're Not OK; 4. I'm OK, You're OK.
It's a dumb idea, most likely, but that's probably fine too,
because if you take a dumb idea far enough,
it could touch glory. You never know. And sitting here,
as we mostly do, talking about all the people
we know, we're just census takers. We have these forms to fill out."
