| Becoming increasingly interested in fragments and remnants, things left behind from another time, place or process.. Imbued at some level of their being is evidence from that time or place, evidence that may or may not be substantial enough to link back to its origin. These fragments function as devices of wonder, imagination stimulants, imbued once again through this process of wonder with yet another layer of residue. The fragments that are a direct result of their 'origin process' but don't carry enough information to trace back to this process are the ones that interest me for these are purely devices of wonder and have no value as quantifiable evidence of anything, one can speculate as to their meaning, function and origin but cannot draw a reliable conclusion. First 'Solid' text manifestation....17.11.03>>>>> ON FRAGMENTARY RESEARCH::: : adjacent mobius bands of thought cycling on multiple dimensions, fed updates by my passage through real world events and exposure to objects and concepts occasionally cross or impact and a remnant is jettisoned off to rest or give birth to a new stand or loop of thought that can now influence the patterns that gave birth to it, a constantly changing, increasingly complex eco system impossible to map growing in my head. Centimetre square crumbling paper fragments of century old jam jar label carefully extracted from a drain outside an old factory, at once decayed and vibrant in their preservation. An envelope containing a dozen b&w snapshots of a neworn baby, happy couple seaside, forties automobile, accompanied by a hand written doctors note advising feeding patterns for baby, blue fountain pen on yellowing notepad. Narratives emerge through mystery and wonder. Moments preserved by mechanics, discovered by chance, narrativised by imagination |
