| "In
assuming such an absurd disconnection between mind and body, I hoped
that some other interesting thing might appear, because gravity and
other corporeal considerations do seem to effect perception and interpretation,
and because our automatic perceptual and interpretive faculties stimulate
our rational ones. When the drawings are actually made they exist in
their own right, and where the process that produced them is unknown,
they can be considered as if they have no history. They can be seen
as abstract and without reference to the concrete or particular. However,
because their ground is the concrete and particular, yet another game
with ambiguity can begin. Though the shape is abstract, it is a concrete
form and incorporates real space within itself. There is 'confusion
between the shape of the space and the space of the shape'. They are
open to any interpretation viewers can make. For example someone described
this green shape as a shadow, an interpretation consistent with the
process actually used to create it, only back to front." |
