Archivum: drawing, text, photograph...

Archivum I: graphite, text, polaroid and bees wax on bound paper.

A new series of small collisions of pencil drawings, polaroids and text...the bees wax bringing a contradiction of muted layers to surface and detail yet in places a heightened transparency. In some cases these feel as if they are 'sketches' for larger works...somewhat tentative and uncertain...perhaps more fully realized as a series of etching and collage pieces...whatever they are they seem to hold a certain transitional state...perhaps that is what they attempt to translate...the dissolving of any fixed 'concept'...to be honest I'm tired of the word...tired of seeing art works smothered by concept...tired of seeing it but in particular tired of hearing and reading concepts that simply impede the articulations of the visual...all that is ever needed is some kind of stumbling description...beautifully inadequate articulations.
