Fingers crude

This report echoes my visual work. I claim that while my writing articulates my life’s philosophy and my visual work exemplifies it, both bond in a reiterative relationship. Moments of leaving this relationship are rare; they take place when a simpler textual explanation enters the theses, with trust that a reader recognizes them as aspects within a network. The theses explore my relationship to visual art as my principle agent and, as such, express impulses sincerely and self-critically, allowing contradictions to exist without negation. The text/agent – as it reiterates – acts as a simulacrum and reaches beyond being a mere place maker of the real; it embeds the personal, familial, and historical identities. It wraps and reveals, both in the material and conceptual sense. Finally, the theses embody the spirit of the visual work by inserting found written fragments: notebooks and dream notations. This undertaking follows the same procedural path and offers and additional opportunity to experience the visual work’s tone.
