What which will
Realizations:
1) Without hitting you over the head with it, my works take on a really environmentally friendly position. I tend to keep the materials free and loose rather than solidify them into a permanent piece. The original motive for this was to satisfy my unwillingness to see this stuff take on permanence, but i now realize that there is a practical sustainability issue being dealt with here. Of course all that is negated by the fact that much of my materials are store bought and I produce a lot of waste.
2) One can make two words into oneword by deleting the middle space.
3) So much of the work is a way of offering surrogate affirmative action to these materials, especially the items from "low" art contexts like the watercolor sets and paint drips.
4) Take an butt-ugly (invisible) thing make it beautiful(visible), then make it butt-ugly(invisible) again.
5) Take a beautiful(visible) thing, make it butt-ugly(invisible), then make it beautiful(visible) again.
6)Uncanny means fresh
7) The tricky thing is making oneword out ofthreewords.
8) Abunchofwordsrunningtogetherwithoutspacescreatesavisualthingthatcanstillbedecipheredwitheffort.
