Note: Will Smooth Ray’s taco shop exist one day? Who says it doesn’t already?
True enough, You can’t go right now and order a smoothie or a breakfast burrito. You can’t pay a buck for a beer, and then go sit in the surf and let the waves wash over your feet. You can’t … And, Smooth Ray has already done it.
Smooth Ray has seen it, imagined it: blending those bananas and limes, frying up the perfect fish taco. Smooth Ray has handed you bliss on a plate.
What’s the difference between a memory and a daydream?
If time is an illusion and all of life temporary, then does When a thing exists really make a difference?
Go ahead and put your order in. Just don’t be impatient.
Status: SRO#046 is in the private collection of a prolific and well-known artist.
