place diptych #1
a tension dynamic extends between the coloured photographs and the black and white words, which is to say between the abstract and the requisite concrete anchor. at the same time, the meaning of the word “place” changes per card as per context. moreover, does "place" ever assert itself as the physical object of postcard is addressed to a specific geographical location.
sample message for inscription:
i lie awake. i feel yr body shiver against mine. you twitch like a dog dream. in yr dreams i am a word, writ and infinitely palimpsested. all possibility potential waiting to be seized.
in waking you only see me through yr sight. the only way you can see me -- down the barrel. me and a gun. me and you. splayed. dissected. quadripartite. old trope. no hope. reptilian.
