My Opponent new video 2005
Improv music by me

The New Charlie Close, pays homage to Chuck Close. I was thinking particularly about the self portrait at the Walker Art Center, which I spent so much time viewing when I was a guard there a long time ago. This one should be projected large.

Recently, I have begun improvising with words. Employing the same strategy I have used with painting. It's the same fascination that draws me to me to painting, watching a live thing emerge from a random collection of information. I am curious about the nature of those narratives and where they come from. I find voice to be an extremely ergonomic tool. It reacts almost instantaneously, a very responsive medium, while painting requires a host of technical requirements, and requisite materials. Video though technically cumbersome in the editing phase, allows for the immediate capture of moments in time. Through these two new mediums I am able to explore the parameters and expectations that come in the form of baggage with the mediums. I like to push these parameters.

I have found that images and narratives have the most impact in their emergent state. I have begun to refer to this as the four track aesthetic. It is a phenomenon I have harvested extensively in painting., and now with video and audio. These are autonomous forms which emerge spontaneously apart from my intentions. The imagery is allowed to establish its own relationships. The narratives are evocative, and interesting dilemmas emerge as different media and conceptions of art both collide and inform each other.
