Work occurs inside the intermittent activity conducted between things immediate and things suspended in thought: the familiar, the unknown and its eventual recombination. The employment of shifting materials and the recurrence of abstraction acts inside the practice as a reminder of all that persists only through relation: ideas which cannot be reflected upon without being translated, altered or negated. It is under these conditions that several aspects of the work are introduced; namely its particular use of the observer’s point of view, its relationship to a specific time of reading and the idea of a fragmentary expectation being the conduct in which the minor and the major activate their difference.
Traducido del inglés
El uso de materiales cambiantes y la recurrencia de la abstracción actúan dentro de la práctica como recordatorio de todo lo que persiste sólo por relaciones: ideas que no pueden reflejarse sin ser traducidas, alteradas o negadas. Es dentro de estas condiciones que muchos aspectos de la obra son introducidos; concretamente el uso particular del punto de vista del espectador, su relación con un tiempo específico de lectura y la idea de una expectativa fragmentaria como el conducto a través del cual lo menor y lo mayor activan su diferencia.
