Careful Not to Stare Careful Not to Look Away

I fell through myself through my own body, through the floor, through floors below floors, through subbasements of mega subbasements, concrete, soil, rock water, chasms then chasms, heat impossible cold, I was there, I was no longer. Joy. Beside and above, beyond myself with everything other than what limited matter I had not been, You cannot describe it, you can only describe it, inadequate wise nods say nod, double nod, know pause, right.
Careful Not To Stare, Careful Not to Look Away (2022), is a series of small works for Catalyst Arts, using printed matter, models and video, which are concerned with attention, distraction, and the demand to do two things at once.
