Artist Statement

t.P.F.Rx

With our knives out.  Dull knives.  Subtle cuts, because it is an art of suggestion, and dangerous maybes.  New trajectories.  Mastering man by marring material.  But not too much, because there’s too much to teach.  We’ll teach you to read.  Oh yes, pictures meant to be read.  Revive the red wedge.
Like wolves / You will gnaw clean / All beurocracy / Before mandates / You never / Fall prone

With our eyes out.  Green eyes, because it’s green lightenin.  And our ears, we’ll be listenin.  Secret agents.  Our loyalties lie.  A curious thing about it, a spectre out of the past, but it points to our destination at the center of the earth.  To the future.  Thirty foot neon green timber wolves crossing the interstate [to militate against the middle class taste]

            It appears that everything is separate in our times.  Delimited.  Clearly defined.  Or not so clearly?  A line in the sand is easily blurred.  Into a fog.  A Poisoner’s Fog is coming out of manholes in this night of fake lights.  A cure that makes princesses, stakes claims to live and says: There is nothing but in actions.  These actions.  Form before content.  Poisoner’s Fog – concocted with phoenix down feathers and a poison tooth.  Send you through the roof man.  See the best sleuths wont be able to detect it.  What you do – Poisoner’s Fog undoes, saying no to conspicuous production, dissembles and assembles itself specifically conditioned / potentially indeterminate [dynamic line and color shape] on exposed surface.  The struggle away from things presented as a spare few specific things.  The goal and the context in a one of a kind object.  When the most remote possibility is the most urgent need, call the Poisoner.

With our lies out.  Because Wilde is on our side, and a truth in art is one who’s opposite is also true.  I never lose.  A bullet short going to Baghdad, sure, but, the desert is here.  Utopian dreams versus very real tigers – all of them liars.  A fog to make clear.  Dissolving in actions: technologies, mediations.  The medium is the message / of relations between people / reconciliations.  A potion to remember: the way you live is neither spontaneous nor eternal.  Remember that one spark can start a prairie fire.  ZAUM says down with design.  Don’t mind the mind.  Don’t believe the hype.
