Warm(th)
warm means something for relationships
and something totally different for the planet, which is also relationships
warming means different things for the globe and for a relationship, & the globe is a relationship

things move faster when warmer
warmth also as sensitivity

gentle warmth (at the heart-point)
mid-Winter (contrast)

vague resemblances
not explicitly formulated, revealing & anticipating
disorient & disrupt, paradoxical reflection(s)

access to a space, a platform (on stage), transmission, (potentially) & potentiality, space to realize something within,
structure, *warm(ing) structures* warm systems,
material(ity) / materials / materialities, syntax of imagery & symbols (role of warmth in healing, heating/healing)

#Winter / #BlackMetal
extremes, deep winter, texture, illegible text, cymbal/symbol, of course.
passion → #romance + #health, physical body, some idea of warmth in health gentle (memorabilia / nostalgia, favorite memories idealized), just over the transparent horizon, ...


shimmering descends, fiery vortices, patterns penetrate & bleed, saturate,
light touches the space, light warms the space & the body (the human) diffracts the light, disnarrated, denarration, extradiegetic, uncreating, chaos, other-than-literal (hyphenation)

does it oscillate? more #scientific, mise-en-scene, again... contorted by the black hole,
the laser cuts, the projector acts as the laser to display, to cast (shadows, colors) + path / episodes (narrative),
focus & foreground & setting & detail

“flesh crystal” + body, figure (warmth, metabolism) + bloody / blush (as the body warms), [digital projector, overhead (analog) projector w/ amp & pickup, string theory, not-quite-(t)here]
ember, cube, geodesic dome on fire, supporting gravity blanket
oral softening metal landscape.gif
irreducible, more granular,
lick your wounds, everything comes alive when contradictions accumulate
clarity and its reversals,
more happens elsewhere, red cosmic drawing, gentleness & density, the sun arrives black & hollow, black metal grows, indecipherable, the column is a stand-in, and warmed by smoke (fog), the gallery is empty... (a launchpad)

strangely elastic space(s) and cooler, the edge reveals itself, hands reach and are joined by a soft substance, the substances move more easily, loose, when warm, warm gestures in the cold.

private meanings, explanation of this mystery, these mysteries, cacotopia, novum, ontological optimism, no space or place for their resolution. paradox continuing.
motion vs. movement (one of time and the other of space)

recontextualizing, recursive,
layering, + drop-shadow
otherwise
they could all have titles, or grow titles, between now & then, whenever’s clever, one of them might speak like that, talk that way, the images become syntactical, and the phrasing spatial, establishing and demolishing stratifications, the more dancing of intensities simultaneously playing on and with. Importing and modifying,

(at the pivot)
incompatible components (friction / tension)
uncanny hybrids (problematic?)
a cohesive universe, if you dare, cohesion of realities,
visual complexity/density that I see in the work of my peers
widening, deepening, eluding



lasercut, laser as another light in this cold Winter which is not one … transparencies, printed images, (re)prints (held in front of projector, absorbing the warmth) post-production additions/modifications, prehistoric pressure, density
#velociraptor #dinosaur #tribaltattoo #mercury / #voronoi

layers, opacity, blending modes, one image obscured w/ another, obfuscation, it might resemble text, illegible, it presents a possibility for exhibition, for display, presentation, the color leans, the calligraphic comes from multiple sources. #fulgurite is a moment captured, geologically, the pastel resembles weather and is digital, moire patterns from the veil, sheer fabric, materiality, the paint drips onto bone, waves, bones, electricity

+ the saga continues, coming heavier and harder, now. Forgetting some things, inevitably, also framing (one picture in the center of another)
repeating images (as transparency/print … as post-production)
chromakey, preconditioned or postconditioned
pixelization, blurring, framing, selecting (copy & paste)


Poem
(re)entering this way, naked and ambiguous, crying and concealing, revealed and holding, covert protection, transparent horizon, #medusa screams, dying &/or confused, #jimmypage, and repetition, burning worlds as they go, heart recorder of proclamations, possible premonitions, green jewel windows (without actors) stage
just us left, and the spine is flexed and protecting, bone on bone, sharp feather, predator’s claw
always practicing, toward a sense of potential,
a sensibility of the fluid and mutating,
really here trying to do this, hungry galaxy
the world or standing still, (still center of the universe)
where she rests deep within, no sense to the sequencing,
#medusa #antarctica

#sensitive substance becomes a space... (and the space a stage) what we does matters, sometimes if it's not matter, long hard cold Winter, whatever happened to Winter? at the field bright and early, clothes between flesh (flesh fabric flesh), your adventure / how far shy
maximum sensitivity, don’t be restrained (relentless)
there is another picture beneath every picture




yonic sun, lasercut paper over figure, folded wave,
undulating rings, beginning this way, "in medias res" #naked #muscle cells and shadows cast, voronoi crystallization,
the laser cuts the light projects, planes of orientation
space blanket, wormhole fold,
entering the #forest where it is most difficult, we contain wilds, the texture the tattoo, the capital as cloud, what is within on the stage, #punk & rebellion warm and soft, able to maintain warmth, lost there
another scene enters the scene, one scene framed by another, death continues to observe, the gentle is touched by the indecipherable, the columns are technicolor, side-effect of rapidly increasing and decreasing brightness, another kind of sculptural space
structures and systems, #infrastructure
warming means different things, the capital is a cloud, the indecipherable persists, the #muscle is revealed, muscular, solid, structural, analog is drawing
from the web, within the web, the structure warms, crystalline or gold a holographic dissolution occurs, the white cube is burning, "where do I put all this stuff?", impossible spaces are realized, classically (in the garden)
zooming -further- out, more is revealed, greater multiplicities, int he gallery, with the transparent horizon (s/o #louisenevelson) the folding wave fading and overlapping, blurring the eye looks toward, whatever, much to see, #sisyphus and a hand reaching toward (#whatever)
zooming out, more is revealed, multiplicity, on the stage or above, the folding wave and density (muscle), beinding over backward (bridge) with lasercut paper draping, the flames burn above, labyrinth heart
gentle #substances, folded wave, capital as column, the indecipherable becomes a kind of touch, hands touching across void, across distance, spanning the thresholds, #blackhole #wireframe, more than one (at a time)
the universe expands, orientations change, everything she was fighting for, might be #crying, sometimes overlay, sometimes opacity, lightning & storms enter, as they always will now
rainbow softens #voronoi & web, diagrams of (whatever) reveal something about one another, "Changes" @davidbowie & abstraction, how systems/structures and the diagrammatic can be warmed, softened, the bodies compound, more warmth from one side than the other, lines distort
complex space, regions based on distance to points is stretched, skewed, distorted, as the body might be, waves fold (/vectors), in the corner and over the body, fluids are expressed, warmth might exist, both at once, simultaneity & repetition
