Engagement and spatial relationship incidentally arranged.<br />
I am interested in the non-evaluable. Non-evaluable things are like<br />
a shifting perspective that cannot resolve itself. It challenges the<br />
imagination.<br />
From 1979 to 2020 I had access to a Xerox machine. First black<br />
and white only, later bigger colour machines offering features like<br />
enlargement and reduction, scanning, as well as colour output of files.<br />
Over this 40 year period I would often be the first one in the studio. I<br />
would take a bit of this time to experiment with the Xerox machines.<br />
It was an opportunity to quell my thoughts by just looking at things.<br />
Trained as a photographer, I am always wondering what things look<br />
like as a picture, so frequently my looking lead to xeroxing. As the<br />
years progressed and the computer screen interceded in the process,<br />
I took to making screen shots of my digital photographs, then<br />
experimenting with them, then outputting them on the colour Xerox<br />
machine.<br />
My mind is organized in pictures, words and rhymes. Frequently my<br />
mind substitutes similars for originals and rhymes for nouns. It moves<br />
at a rapid pace in a fever of sentences. Not so much thoughts of<br />
thinking, but rather words on a blackboard. Disconnected. Connected.<br />
Filling the blackboards with sentences.<br />
