Artist Statement

Foucault talks about “ working at the edge of an un-thought, slowly building a language in which to think it” *
As I make and ponder about the work
I see myself
walking rather

than working,

at the edge of the un-thought
as if it was
a cliff.

 

I walk. I stop. I walk. I stop…
I have a notion of what I am aiming towards…

and I walk and stop and walk and stop.

b u i l d i n g a path on the edge of that notion.

WAITING

to stumble,

to trip; perhaps falling,
rarely diving, some times nearer,

sometimes further away

 

and

occasionally directly into

 

 

……………………………it.
