John Spencer
The intent is to venture, to challenge, and be open. Ride an underlying theme of the ‘moment’ or the ‘event’ and pronounce it with the juxtaposition or adjacency of the unrelated subject matter. Leave the static in the street. Let schism create dialogue. Let the context be a catalyst and backdrop. Insert an ‘inspirational piece’ to invent a frankenstein, one which is no longer just the sum of the parts.
Revel in the excessive nature of not editing the found ‘journal’. The continuity is the ‘assembly’ of images, composition, and a multi narrative generated from the discarded and reborn with a new life as iconic. The mundane is the field, temporary and cosmetic, collected references of fashion, sex, car parts, and random utilitarian objects. They are non-precious gobstoppers to chew on. Meaning is formed by the viewer and a secret to the author.
