A few attempts from November. I will not discuss their failings, as these deficiencies are manifest:
“Lincoln Profile”
“Damen Bus”
I had to at least give it a try. I cut up a few of these paintings to use in collages, and started tacking them up with the photographs I was painting from. As I wrote previously, a collage is a machine, one that produces disjunctions, de-articulates, but then joins together. To build my machines I therefore mined my paintings for parts — adaptors, adjusters, aerators, agitators, aligners, and that’s just the “A” list. The first machines, however, are built more along the lines of neolithic tools — they perform simple tasks.
