i'm from the side of a mountain mostly. but that valley's so different now that i won't go back. near vancouver. i studied art in ailing modernist buildings, and after class i went swimming in a cold grey ocean - trying to remember that the mind exists in the body as much as in the brain. now i'm here for a few years - in the backwoods, or so they call it. new brunswick. there certainly are a lot of trees.
hold on : i had wanted to ask you : what is it to know in ways that have no verbal equivalent? what is this active principle called intellect when it's not separated from the body?
and can we find other voices by which to document these works so that they don't have to rely on yet more bad digital photographs, which fail to capture the complexity of durational experience?
