This handmade slide is part of a new 2012

projection installation .......titled "#9"........., consisting of

two slide carousals with 80 slides in rotation of 7 seconds per

slide..........................the entire rotation is

approx.......9min......but becomes a repetitive loop

This blue Picasso-esque slide.......is

titled......."Berlin Wall 1982".......While on a trip to Germany in

1982 ....i came to the wall and photographed much of it , covered in

amazing painted murals full of heated vibrant color and human

content............... Recently,....i decided to go back to

some of these images ............Fermented in time ..........and most,

physically gone ......, I decided to recycle and reconstitute the

images....................so i used bleach and salt .......to

decay the original slide.......then sliced and cut and paste into a

new contemporary composition.........

The mixed media i use , including film ,.....is

quite specific............when working out the concept..........in the

case of #9....,i wanted to focus on the visceral aspect of decay and

layered skin of time............., Everything about the process,.......i

feel is extremely important........no matter what the medium of

work...............there are hidden secrets and answers everywhere

within process .............the process becomes a living archival

testament....leaving the remnants in its path ..........remnants

which become the real potent truth

I work intuitively........I like to gather the flesh and guts of the

material.........lay it out and then turn into a crazy factory

worker......with no rules of contemplative design......let the eyes

speak to hands while the brain takes a nap.....................let the

fuckin work make itself ...........it knows where it needs to go

.....................it knows what it needs to be
