Resignation Letter

Official Resignation Letter




Dear Financial Engineers, Money Guys and Bank Managers,

I am formally resigning from my position as Concerned If Numerically Dyslexic Artist/Citizen/Observer of the Ongoing Financial Meltdown (OFM), or Continuing Monetary Tsunami (CMT). My letters to you all—henceforth to be referred to as the Void—have met with virtual silence. I like to read this as your possible embarrassment at truths skillfully revealed by yours truly but suspect you all have simply been laughing yourselves silly and slapping your thighs all the way to the bank. My outrage is your fodder for fun, my economic innocence is risible, my infantile hope that you might be more considerate to those you are supposed to serve, is nothing but a joke! That I remained shocked by your infinite ability to suck blood from a stone, reap rewards, bonuses and slaps on the back for what is in essence criminal behavior, must be very amusing for you all. Or I can can only imagine you are able to defer all blame onto others in your industry, or redefine your industry in such a way as to make it plain it wasn’t you guys but those guys; or your job but their job. You can stop right now blaming the Consumer. You asked us to consume and we did because you are the Experts. You are expert consumers and you showed us all how it was done. You are even consuming us. Thank you for all your advice over the years. Thank you for dismantling Trust in this: the society I live in.

Yours sincerely,

Kristian Witherkay

PS—No longer required to write absurdly naive letters to the Bank I shall now concentrate on the far more important work of creating Art, Art that you the people with money must eventually Own.

Remember this:
•Art is worth more than Money
•Our relationship is deeply symbiotic
•Your lives without Art are worthless
