monolith // monolith

THE BUS SHEPHERD




"wasn't it the rotator cuff that finally gave out after all those years of driving?"
pay a college kid 5 dollars back then up in montana just to put the chains on the wheels.
kid'll say, i'll do it. chains and rubbers. rubbers was a star that held the chains together

the image is holding hands
bicyclical like teeth on the bus
but is it biblical? it's certainly not
a bus driver

USDA CERTIFIED

as structural framework: where exists the image, and where exists the frame of the image?
if image is absent
then it's electricity that hold itself up so well

VICTIM
or:
bad night out
or:
bad night in

or: how does this image exist within sensory space and perception? what can
actually be seen of the woman depicted? what can be seen of the woman once
the image has been retranslated to a computer screen?
a victim of false information: you can reference the source, but the woman remains
painfully anonymous. but that's okay because there's two of her

FALSE IDOL


i gave them a body and more feet. dizzying - abominate - unrehearsed structure.
this image is a lie, instant 30 second monolith

EXTENSIONS
or: barrel monkey theory?
the image confined to a vague, unrehearsed axonometry simutaneously
suggests and discourages the prescence of a new architectural space.
thus the nature of proper orientation: an image held to 45 degree angles
projects itself into an axonometric framing system, however distorted
or unaligned the cmponents may be.

--------> axonometric design creates a forced dimensionality on an image collage,
one that cannot be avoided by depicting an image unreal with grotesque perspective.

axonometric design


axonometric framing systems:
thank you for making impossible space within a deceptive structure.

IBP

time-sensitive graffitti

the thing that's always bothered me about blogs is the inability to create posts in the past or future. why should a blog be defined by the time at which you choose to create a post? this restricts both the composition and framework of the blog.
i was editing and cleaning up my posts today (11.4.08) when i noticed an untitled draft i had made in the past, so i decided to blog in the past in order to stretch the framework. since this post isn't so much a documentation as it is an archive reconstruction, i've decided to use this space to document some of my older work not captured within the time-sensitive framework of this blog.


graffitti projects 05-07








thus the graffiti acquires a temporal context: art that shows up, unexpected, removed from the influences around it.
