'sometimes you have to pause to catch up with where you already are (Stewart 2007. p.63 The images of pages of text of lifting it up, making it fold, obscuring the view stopping me seeing the meaning or read the meaning repeat. I do this action often and the placement of something on the page is a concentration of the words below, although hidden. i make them concrete, a solid way back. They are small deposits on the page - as are the words. Sometimes they are my words and sometimes anothers. The images below made and obscured or made clear by Charles Garoian make the text, make the words more than themselves and there is something dislocated in the relationship between his marks or shifts in the letters that are all of course equally embedded through the ink of the page. I suppose the splat or the spit, that I repeat are about the space just above the words -the liminal, just before the utterance or thought. Not delicate but clumsy and dumped, the materials of paper, text and matter have a small wrestle. Garoian, 2010. Sometimes the page has no text and still it seems things need to stand up from the flatness, revealing themselves and becoming an experince beyond a plateau. I cut into and layer in order to see something else, making portholes, connections between marks that do not belong together but are the same. Sometimes the images are more than the assemblages are and suggest something else is possible, sneaking round the corner, or unfolding folded things.
