There are many hinges and points I turn on, gathering knowledge from cross-table discussions, making work drunk with instability, drawing until you’re too tired to stand, laying flat on the floor until you’re too cold to breathe. Breaking rules and having rules break you, twisting outcomes until the lie gets too much, not just seeing but tasting, becoming too involved then leaving it all alone until the next spark. Noticing three shadows as you pass two street lights, holding a tool, using it badly, breaking the tool and using the broken tool. Cutting, dividing, spreading, layering then cutting again and again. When a drawn line gets built, when a tree grows horizontally, when you trip up on it, stimulate the image, turn it over and stack it on a ledge, hold on, let go, chase it, always chase it. Forget it, then pick it up and examine it. Release it all, and sober up. That’s what happens when earth fucks with space.
