"What speaks to you?"
::inhale:::
as i walk through spaces I am conscious of patterns and forms that occur on the ground... in particular i look for quadrilaterals... and at each of the corners of these quadrilaterals... i draw an imaginary line from each corner... as i traverse towards these polygons... i am conscious of where my feet are placed... as i walk i consciously overstep or understep in order for these lines to not be covered my my passing soles.... with my head partially tilted downward i am constantly looking for a path unhindered by these "lines".... the diagonals....
::exhale::
"water, skin, and light..."
"You like light? All light?"
"well... no i think im more interested in light which passes through objects... "
(inside) when i was younger i fascinated by the effect of placing your palm and fingers over a flashlight in a dark space.... illumating!... my hands glowed red/pink... and i thought for a fleeting moment that could possibly see through them....
"So you mean you like translucency."
"yea i guess so..."
(inside) though I think its not just translucent materials... i think its what happens when a new element is added to it ... i mean... its the relationship between the two materials... when these two elements are combined and joined together in this marriage of physical and metaphysical... where some sort of material exists in tangibility and the other doesn't... and the glowing... it seems to transcend some sort of notion of solidity in that once solid object... and yet as the light manifests itself in the object it takes on a new physical form... each "material" gives up part of itself for another... to create a new beautiful form that is entirely both of its originators...
"Why are you interested in this?"
"Why does it matter?"
"What is the abstract machine, or the driving forces in your work?"
