August 4 1995, Soho. Dieu Donne Papermill.
In a cafe at Mulberry and Prince. Dog days of August. Children cooling off in the water that has pooled in the street. It must be filthy. A young woman is watching them. Maybe she's mom. They seem happy. Too hot to walk around. Don't know if I could live here. Everything is extreme. Outside‐very dense and dirty. Inside‐ beautiful spaces.
Lantern forms. Need another name‐accordion forms. Feeling ill at ease about not having finished anything, at not knowing why I'm doing what I'm doing. Accordion forms imply movement, resilience, esophagus (swallow, stand up straight), peristaltic pumps, the movie Brazil (one of my favorites), industrial hoses and parts, passageways from point A to point B. Increased surface area. Anatomy, shells, skin and bones, physiology. Organs processing stuff. Food, text, sound. In one ear out the other. In both ears and stored in that big organ in your head. In your mouth, into your stomach, into your blood, into your guts, into the toilet, through the pipes, into the sewer, into the treatment plant, back into tap water, hauled off to the solid waste landfill. Nothing is lost forever. It is only transformed and transported. Entropy. Everything comes and goes. Morphing. Morph food. Morph time. Morph money. Morph people. Morph words.
