I swear I didn't set out to make these 2 pieces at the outset. Not that I feel I have anything to excuse. You see, I was doing a study of materials for another piece I am doing, and I had to write a lot of text by hand on some paper and proceed to work with the text... cutting, glazing, etc. And then, so what I'm trying to say is, it was the day I finally got around to reading Carol Vogel's article about Dan Colen. I found some rich material there. I hope to post better photos later, as well as links to relevant sources, such as William Powhida's twitter essay. (Thanks for that.) Comments are welcome or find me on twitter. ~ @marzkim
