ART
A sweater might be something-not-a-sweater, a painting in fact a sculpture. My father’s favorite shirt changed the day he died.

One of my guiding impulses is to trace a history, to excavate a thing buried within itself and obscured by the naming process and the passage of time. The self morphs, but essential information is stored. And this applies not only to the personal, but to formal narratives as well.
