Made in 2018 while in transition from one town to another, I had felt like a creepy Christmas present & deeply unstable. Like a gremlin in a box! Circumstances beyond my control had displaced me - but for good reason. I was in the way of someone who was about to have a huge back surgery & with me historically being so clumsy, it was not a good idea for me to be running around after someone who had just had their spine fused. So I moved to Southern CA. Still I felt like a Gremlin who could snap at any second. Eventually I learned to love Orange County & I did made friends but mailing a Gremlin in a box anywhere is risky business. Actually I'm pretty thankful in the end because I had the chance to get my health back and make some really good art such at this piece here. - Love René
