I am interested in the fragmented aspect of daily life — information — emotion — image — thing — the eye is blinking and everything is shifting between — intention and perception — things we keep — things we discard — slipping like language.

Fragments of conversation — of meaning — we begin in one place — end in another — but is that passage forward or backward — what is occurring — time and space collapsing.

Containers — jar — box — sonnet — a rigid form bent — eleven syllabic line — objects lined up on shelves — red against blue — on canvas — on paper — break out — our body — our society — we are containers inside containers — in containment — leakage.

At the dump — everything has been discarded — meaning has been lost — recycling is a returning of meaning — we are looking at leakage — and reestablishing intention through form —

This is material — beginning in end — in drawing we begin with paper — dry charcoal lines on cotton — on mulberry — on bark the paper is pulp — the charcoal compressed from the same tree — the tree is the beginning.
