Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
you're asked a question like that, you refused to default into
judgment, or into some protective…
JERRY WENNSTROM: Well mostly oriented fear, it was mostly
fear I was responding to.
TRIP: Okay, so you invite these guys up, and…
JERRY WENNSTROM: They asked me, I didn't invite them. I
wouldn't have invited them.
TRIP: Okay, well they asked, you let them up, they're going up the
stairs, and one of them takes his bottle full of whatever and
smashes it on the stairs, which must have jilted your nervous
system. Then you get up into the apartment, not apartment the
studio, and you go in there. And they start asking you the stupid
questions, and they’re grinning at each other, and doing that
preamble towards maybe mugging you or whatever. And then
they come right out and say, "We're going to case your joint". And
so you then say, "Okay, let me show you around", and then maybe
you could share what happened after that.
JERRY WENNSTROM: Well this was just before destroying my
art when I was fasting; I fasted for a month, so I was really hyper
sensitive. And I was just really present with them, so when I said,
okay, let me show you what I do, and I brought then into the
studio. And at the time the studio was full of hundreds of
paintings. And they were pretty intense images, I mean if you
have anybody who wants to see the images on the website, it is
www.handsofalchemy.com . So the paintings were there and it
just… there was something that happened that just turned these
guys around. They started looking at the paintings and going
around, they said, "Wow man, did you do this?" And I said, yes.
Like everything turned around, they were showing each other their
favorites. And then when they left they were so respectful, and
they asked if they could bring their girlfriends.
