More Thinking – Why (August 14th)

Because we cannot help but look, it is like sitting on a street corner…I cannot help but look at the people who pass.  It could be that I know them or want to pass judgment or want to make a story or am simply assessing the situation.  Without signifiers the forms act as a blank slate – tableau rasa.  The shapes, likes are interesting to me – I want to make sense of the contours, the baggage – when someone is carrying a bag, a broom and dust pan, a hula hoop, a baby – we start making a story, putting them in a box, casting judgment (why does that work keep coming up?) – Rewind – the figure and their accessories become fused, one, united, part of the same shape…
