Ken Aptekar's "Read Red"

I've always had a hard time reading. My mind wanders. I rarely calm down enough to get absorbed in a book. I know this is about betrayal. If I read, I'm being anti-social, neglecting my family; I'm acting selfish. So I make reading an unavoidable part of my work. For a print I'm working on, I find a painting by John Singer Sargent in an art museum in Pennsylvania, in a town called Reading (red'ing).
