Bio:
We are committed to the nothing-in-between whether we know it or not. -John Cage
Once I thought I was taking the received protocols of Fontanas Concetto Spaziale or Warhols Piss Paintings and Pollacks drips and upping the testosterone ante a little. Now I own that it was my own vernacular energy that led me to test stainless steels seductive claim of inviolability. The direct auditory, olfactory and visual cues offered by ballistics serve as a connection to the nothing-in- between state referred to by Cage. In the warped reflective surfaces remaining after stainless steel has been shot through on both sides, there is a fluid reminder of irrevocable action and the shadow side of high modernism. The remaining voids hold together aesthetically resistant actions and surfaces with conspicuous tension rather than a condition of stasis.
