Derek Paul Jack Boyle: Unease
Derek Paul Jack Boyle // Unease ~ 10.27 – 12.15
The estate of unease. The lights are on all night and it's far too hot, so chill the boots.
I build images out of things left behind. The objects we have end up having us, so have at them. All lawn chairs will eventually be tossed, for better or worse.
The hand is broken, the line is woozy, the form is lost and found. Surfaces are hardened.
Switching between black and white so fast that gray comes out.
I'm letting my channels be changed.
