The drawings have their own half life. The weird catch in in the throat, that this is happening in fine grain A clear linguistic fact and experiential fact of our existence as confronted with the 'alien' in the human At the same time as we are always barreling inside the alien cognition Recovering a distant geography from within the self, from the earliest days of life Birth semantics, of the chora after Kristeva, the experience of language as touch Alien-ness as a lived personal and collective experience—every body is elated, related, proverbial-- Really hard to be with the paintings, who confront by hurling recognition-patterns from birth Quanta reveal and prevent revelation--.a disturbing ground, an uncomfortable assimilation The titles of the paintings might be proximate translations from a minor literature Place-names in a legend on the lower left-hand corner of your map The naming of drawings is a poetics of relation at a periphery which turns out to be central Possibly the name will give a hook, a handhold while you plunge Line is moving and coursing, a cursor flashes at various thresholds At the point-shifts of planes and masses, shedding incidents and micro-events like droplets off the wet dog Line scrawls through the wet prints, hunting uptakes, tracks in dark waters the shimmering bioluminescent letters Might images present mere patterned light from within ellipses....dot dash dot An aphasia-ellipsis is an intimate and vast location, a very productive space in which to write a painting. Detonation ripping out at you, as you. The canvas-crevasse spills out scores Architectonics deeply inscribe in the body of the support, reverse the sentence out of Kafka's penal colony The inscriptions flow out not as law but as antinomies in concert, Lightness and heaviness play between support and mass The ground is no more stable than the delicate structure of the muslin whose surface is as resonant as a drum Silent but potentially sounding, storm of sounds might erupt at the touch-- Like Ligeti etudes as played by Jeremy Denk Scherzi and coda whip and pulse to locate points in a level of life at its strangest and most engulfing.
