PHYSICAL ENDURANCE / HARSH MEDITATION / COMPLEX SONICS / RED FOCUS / WOUND / RECOVERY / REPETITION / VOLUME / LIGHT / NOISE

I CHOOSE THE BODY AS THE SITE / THE PLAYGROUND / THE VENUE / THE TOOL / THE BATTLEGROUND. THE CONFRONTATION I SEEK BASIC, STARK – TO BE OR NOT TO BE. I VEER WILDLY THROUGH THE DAYS – AT ONCE IMPELLED TO LIVE YET DESTINED TO DIE. I CREATE AND OFFER MY ATTEMPT TO RECONCILE THE EXTRAORDINARY VIOLENCE AND RHYTHM OF LIFE – WHAT USE AMID THIS, OH ME, OH LIFE? THIS – MY GUN AND MY WHITE FLAG. I SURRENDER MY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE GROUND I WORSHIP AS I SCUTTLE ACROSS. THE SUN CONTINUES TO RISE SO I MUST TOO.
