Word Thoughts

Today is fluid, and I am being with its presence most graciously. The days that surround it have been tiring and halted, riddled with confusion rather than welcomed uncertainty. My thoughts about projects and execution have been muddled and unclear. Today is different, though. Today, I am thinking about my projects, but I am thinking beyond or through them as well. More, how these ideas seem to be part of a cycle of confusion within my continuum. Yes, I look through my recent endeavors and believe they are part of an uncertainty that both is crafted into the reading of the work as much as it guides the work. It has been important for me to steer myself away from where I might settle.
After Static In C, I felt I had found something to explore, something on which to settle. I cannot stand it though. I believe, in the wake of an uncertain path, a structure will form. It is as much about looking through your path in every direction to play off its logic as much as your own—as an organism, as an object, and as a person. It is about collaborating with every particle that makes you, touches you, and moves the particles that touch you. In this process it may be difficult to make distinctions, and this is where I find myself. I recognize the responsibility one has, in making art, to create distinctions—to define ones thoughts so that they might say something in relation to the actions, thoughts, or words of other artists. One cannot be unclear in this, but one may produce uncertainty as a result of this. Often it is necessary to create confusion within the self, the locations of central thoughts dispersing—perhaps a private process of ones own to stir buried nutrients of thought which are covered in sediments of recent activity and directions too deeply to get at them with one type of thought (word thoughts, image thoughts, form thoughts, sound thoughts, body thoughts, etc. must all coalesce in varying degrees). To do this simultaneous multiplication and division of the self is a type of thinking which may inform the different logics within and around you, producing new clarities for steering your crafted uncertainties. While it may be said that the result of my various thought flows is a text, which predominates in word thoughts, it is invariably connected to the body thoughts of my morning, resulting from the image and form thoughts I projected of my surrounding days onto my moments now, continually, and in pulsating focus.
Perhaps today I feel I am beginning to emerge from this continually collapsing manifold, to ruminate on positionality and define a perimeter to my being and my work which gives meaning to recent thoughts and creations.
