Deøi executate cu migalæ øi manufacturate într-o manieræ aproape mecanicæ, picturile øi desenele mele vizeazæ uneori anarhia. Ele sînt simultan
construite øi obstrucflionate prin acumularea unui semn sau gest repetat, frizînd adesea øtergerea, prin adaos, sau ascunderea, din perspectiva
prezentærii. Pentru a lua ceva înapoi, trebuie sæ continui sæ vorbeøti.
Time Waster [Pierde-varæ] reprezintæ mecanicul redat mîinilor pentru reconfigurare, fragmentare sau mærunflire, rezultatul fiind descompunerea.
Lucrarea propune o grilæ ca un fel de øtergere øi o invitaflie la propria distrugere. În A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey [Un tur
al monumentelor din Passaic, New Jersey], Robert Smithson oferæ exemplul gropii cu nisip pentru copii împærflitæ în jumætate, cu nisip negru
pe o parte øi alb de cealaltæ parte, øi pune un copil sæ alerge de sute de ori în sensul acelor de ceasornic în nisip, pînæ cînd acesta devine gri.
Apoi îl pune pe copil sæ alerge în sens invers acelor de ceasornic, dar rezultatul este, desigur, o øi mai accentuatæ colorare în gri.
(Traducere de Alex Moldovan)
Though painstakingly executed and quite mechanically hand made, my paintings and drawings sometimes pertain to anarchy. They are simultaneously constructed
and obstructed through the accumulation of a repeated mark or gesture, often threatening a condition of erasure through addition, or concealment as display.
In order to take something back, one has to keep talking.
Time waster is the mechanical offered back to the hands to reconfigure or fragment or shred, the pull-out becoming the fall apart. It proposes a grid as a kind
of crossing out and an invitation to its own undoing. In A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey, Robert Smithson gives the example of a child’s sandpit
divided in half with black sand on one side and white on the other, and has a child run hundreds of times clockwise in the sand until it turns grey. He then has
the child run anti clockwise, but the result, of course, is a greater degree of greyness.
