1. Make things out of material (traditional figurative)
2. Make things out of things (clever (con)figuration - hawkinson)
4. Make material out of material (traditional abstraction)
less interested in a personal, formal language than the infinite diversity of nature
so the mechanical age of reproduction. this is probably different than what i'm about to talk about but whatever. what about art that has been mechanically produced or reproduced that is "better" than work that is, let's just say, made by hand? wait i don't want to exclude handmade things. cause i include things in the mechancially made category that were made by hand but according to some process (crap. shooting in the foot). the hands carried out the mechanical process. i like process art and mechanically made art or rule based art that appears to be expressionistic, intuitive and abstract because it challenges our notion of beauty. that beauty is one that comes from the "soul". or that this way of making is soulful.
objects with little or no social value, discarded cheap stuff determine the shape and readings of the works. the works appear to be using an abstract and gestural way of making marks or forms. it is a language that is rooted in intuition and feelings. it's very 60's. but that is not the case. the works came from a mechanical process. they came from banal objects.
the works are bilingual, trilingual, etc, a singular reading is denied. we can no longer adpot and speak in a particular -ism and make art according to the language of that -ism. they are no longer isolated languages. they are verbs, nouns and adjectives in a larger language. i use the language developed by abstract expressionists but never alone. or i use a language that has all the earmarks of abstract expressionist work but in fact was made in a very different way.
take roxy paine's sculpture machine and drawing machines. mechanically reproducing works that have all the trademarks of abstract expressionism or an art driven by intuition and expression. his work is only one end of the spectrum in my area of interest. it is not neccessary that things be made by an actual machine. adopt -ism's and languages from old and new modes of display and ways of making.
(blah blah blah)
my concern now is that people are not picking up on the larger critical dialogue my work is partaking in.
Gravity does the sculpting for me. Materials dangle, drop and drip from things both made and readymade. The things I make and find determine how the materials applied to them take shape. It’s like an icicle forming on an overhang.
there is a new recipe out there in the art making world. artists have started to modify commodity. 1. take a readymade. (readymade seems like the wrong word now. readymade doesn't acknowledge the context that these things are coming from. readymades are always commodities.) 2. modify the readymade and make it a commodity again. re-com-modify.
it's kind of like what i was trying to say about the painting i wanted to make. i feel like i know it is good before i even start it. it is as if the idea of it is enough to give me the feeling that i want it to give to others. the labor often gets in the way or changes the way you originally felt about it. in the beginning you were seeing it in a completed state as the perfect observer. totally unaware of the process that went into making it. there are no flaws. there may be some chunkyness to the paint and obvious imperfections but all of these things were deliberate and add to that feeling you are after. you are at that point the perfect audience for your work. you see it for what it really is and wants to be. it is inevitable that the labor and making of the work confuses or blurs your relationship to it. and that feeling you originally had is complicated because you are on the wrong side of the fence now. you aren't the perfect virgin audience anymore. you know all of the secrets, problems and compromises that went into its making. it's like seeing the most beautiful thing in the world and then finding out a million people died trying to make it. that original feeling you had about it is complicated by the knowledge you gain through making. this is the exact reason why i can't conceive of projects before i make them anymore. i couldn't stand losing that feeling i got before i made something. the making was killing it. i was being stubborn about the making. now i have to let my presumptions about what it's going to take to get at that feeling go if they aren't working. improvise along the way in order to ensure that feeling will be there in the end.
it's not about a crossdisciplinary practice anymore. it's not about mixing mediums. it's not about being a sculptor and a painter and a video artist. it's not about the materials you use. it's not about crossbreeding your materials. it's about having the freedom to crossbreed genres and ways of thinking not ways of making. it's not about building a practice based on consistency. what value does that have? are you going to trust me and what i make if i make it 100 times or a 1000 times?

The Work
•Status: Concept.
- Education, a strong family, healthy children, longevity of life, personal health, sexual competence, good relationships, respectable friends, retirement funds, money, success, have come to define our goals in life.
I like Jesus.
Too bad he didn't have any of these.
Loser.
the list moves in front of you at a rate that gives little time to read its content, which adds this sense of infinity. an infinite list of things that he did not do.
what if the list was spoken or had an audio.
Lent
Lent is a special time of self-examination and thought about how we live. More on Lent.
can this list breakdown that hierarchy.
jesus never did the things that are essential to our lifestyle.
he never had children.
having children has to be one of the most revealing aspects of life.
it is a list of the things that we as a culture strive for and do on a regular basis. the list arose out of a stereotyping of our culture to some degree because they are 'universal' truths. or they are just things
set up this thing that forces (or allows the possibility to. or vs. the possibility to compare) you to compare your life and your activities with that of jesus (or the stereotyping of jesus' identity and lifestyle)
What kind of object could this be?
- an object that allows for this (or is associated with) aspects of choice or choosing.
did it ever occur to you that people are okay with the fact that they live there lives in discord to religious values already and they dont worry about it anymore. maybe it's just me who is not okay with the discord in my life.

The Work
Status
• Concept.
• Catholicism has defined a specific way to 'Pray The Rosary'. The prayer is articulated by an arrangement of beads. Each bead and its position on the Rosary is symbolic. There are ten small beads (also referred to as a decade) where it is requested that you recite ten Hail Mary's. One for each bead. I'm surprised that there is any significance applied to the number ten and the amount or quantity in this context.
Medium
• Text
Intent
• Present over 100 personal accounts of Near Death Experiences (NDE) in an attempt to confront the viewer with ideas associated with the Afterlife, Heaven and Hell, Religion, God, etc.
The Work
• The personal accounts of these experiences is critical to the work. It is commonly accepted that a personal account is factual information. If you are a witness your experience, recollection of it, the way in which you describe it are critical to the way in which the information is recieved.
Thoughts
• People that have had an NDE did not die. They almost died. How can you describe the afterlife if you haven't died? How do you measure the degree to which someone almost dies?

C004• I only went out with Brooke cause I felt sorry for her. She was pretty fat.
C005• I stole candy from Northstar. Then I would chew it up and spit it out all over the chairlift. The long redvines were the best. My hope was that someone sat in it.

C012• I pee'd in a cup that ultimately ended up all over my friends neighbor. Her mom got mad and asked my friends dad if he wanted to smell her. He didn't. Neither did I.
C013• The doctor put a finger up my butt in the 3rd grade. I've always thought it was his thumb but now I'm not so sure.

C030• The regret I felt after being mean to my little brother when he was little was too much to live with. I cried when I told him I was sorry. He had no idea what was going on and he probably doesn't remember when I apologized.
C031• I don't have the balls to fuck my life up. But wish I did.
C032• I'm not going to die today.
