2009 INVIOLABLE

I perceived an element of denunciation in what I was doing; fads, mania are word concepts of phenomena near the center of modern anxiety, cards with changing values. Those who deal out history attack faddists as criminally superficial, or dialectical attack. Cross-cultural modernism. How we think what we see, and why. Truth claims have become indeterminate, there are no authorities. The diagram of knowledge in the world are axiomatic structures. A mirage of sign painting to pleasure safties and anxieties. Thousands of dialogic threads. The tension betwee monolithic, historical image, translation in the form of a paradox. Nothing was to be imposed on experience; the truth was to be discovered, not constructed. Just as bits of pottery and fragments of bone are items upon which history might be constructed.
