I take the Brooklyn Rail newspaper and underline words and phases in the articles that catch my attention. Then circle a word or phrase for the title. It's more of a subtractive process, taking a page of words and editing down to a poem or maybe several. It's kind of backwards from the traditional process of adding words to a blank page. But it works for me. The pieces of newspaper with these random abstract poems get used as collage material in my artwork.
Insightful Examination
Unaware, I pause.
Phonetic instructions were followed.
Early urban portraits.
Outbreak of war.
Expressive brushwork.
A feverish blank face.
A ticking time bomb.
Being symbolic can easily turn to consequences.
Transformed into a glow,
And immune to what might come.
Reminded of emotional detachment.
The unconscious art is urgent.
No Attempt To Blend
Catch up with the mind.
The world is detonating.
Plutonium, a devastating weapon.
Reproductions of Egyptian wall paintings,
and cartoons.
The paintings awkward.
Who seems to grasp?
The difference is in the color.
A mosaic to fulfill order.
The use of found images.
A few, coherent images.
Concoction never becomes unified.
Exploding pieces patiently joined.
This Particular Portrayal
In the anonymity of his surroundings.
Bring together seven.
Six to offer.
The first, of an apocalyptic history.
Notorious retrospect.
Crimes of the collective consciousness.
How To Draw
When he decided to.
He would say that.
My mind wanted to see.
I could not.
Images that had already been.
A deficiency ingenious.
Paintings, the final version.
That One Usually Applies
To have money.
You have money.
The thesis is likely.
As I said earlier.
We would have to have,
A lot of money.
Tell us about the pamphlets.
This idea of pamphlets.
Blue Flashes
Shatter a plate.
Unfazed to break.
This brings chaos.
Normally erratic or disruptive.
It seems that others choreographed chaos.
He admits.
The film cuts to the artist.
Telling transitions.
A filmmaker acutely aware.
The complexities an artist wants.
To uncover organically.
In order to allow,
Reveal.
Grammatological Terrain
Restricted of it's form.
Pedigree lying.
Somewhere found,
The system of not.
The visuality of the faded.
Repeated secondary vacuums
Loosely translated.
Production of myths.
Dark shadows,
A test of his imagination.
The painting, a hallucination.
Something Foolish
The distribution of color,
I have never seen.
There were a few ways.
Get up at dawn.
Pretend you were a mushroom sprouted.
Wait till the weekend.
Get drunk.
Being Butchered and Served
A madhouse.
Lurid, hallucinatory colors.
Graphic.
Overwhelmed by existential paralysis.
Sexual compulsion.
Response,
Over-stimulating.
Connection might be a pop song.
Self-conscious beauty enveloped me.
Still drowning.
Reason To Exist
A little boutique publisher.
No connection with it's past.
A couple of refugees.
Twenty-five, brought to Europe.
Publishing sensibility.
They published.
Very serious.
And made what?
