"Quality is Quantity. The quality of an art object is directly proportional to the quantity of something that it gives to someone who belongs to some constituency of interest" to quote Dave Hickey. This is a thought that has been rolling around in my dome while I work on this piece. I have found that as these collages progress there has been a determination on my part to place as much visual information in them as to capture the act of smashing the side of your face against the window of a car moving at speeds that would be considered reckless. A lifetime of driving in one moment. The result should be a visual that is revisited because you are always seeing something new that you missed at a previous viewing. This is what Peter Frank said about these collages in his review of my show in Venice, California at Gebert Gallery "They seem more immediately connected than ever, both to the experience of seeing things zip by and to the hyper-distortion that results from trying to record such experience through a lens". Here are some shots from last week. This piece is almost finished.
