The installation, my first, is concretising more than I imagined. I had been reading and writing in preparation: developing plans, hypotheses, while the most important elements are taught by the contexts of the work. For example, while I was inspired by Cornelia Parker’s 1991 Cold Dark Matter — An Exploded View (pictured here), I am finding the metaphysics of ideas more implosive. Cubicles may tend more to collapse into themselves. Becoming immense in their magnifications. I wouldn’t know. At least in this case. Office furniture seems to organize itself neatly in any configuration. A messy Tetris board, the chaos of a Rubix cube. At least when all of the contents have been concealed. In the writing I’ve asked so often “Is it important that this mean?” Now I am totally bent on preserving the words. So, yes. My answer is yes. It is important that writing mean. Purely subjective. Nonetheless it does mean more than it means, as we all know.
An art work employed to explore writing, discovers realms beyond words.
Equally satisfying is the confirmation that writing is promonotory, of course, I mean “premonitory”, but it’s an alright allegory. The matter of my exploration contains the answers. I wanted to know about the constructs of bureaucracy, (and I’m tracking down accounts payable), creativity and globalization (and all of the texts point to art writers, critics, scholars and artists’ stories, stories, statements, letters, diaries,), and the shapes of aluminum filing cabinets, papers and hands in the process of writing one word at a time have things to say about it. Does writing find itself within the cabinets, or from climbing atop them?
