What happens is, the green energy demons who live under your eyelids have to suck their life forse out of retinal stimulation, so they encouraged early man to spend mre time making random splashes of ochre on rocks, until they started to take form. The more interesting the "art", teh more time one spends looking at it, and the more retinal vibes the green energy demons recieve. It's kind of like a symbiotic relationship. |
She also had a series of photographs of sentences written on skin in blue ink. I like her. I like words. Another artist who uses words in his work is Jimmie Durham. (We just got one of his books in at the library, too. It's a wonder I get any work done when I have all these art books to look at.) He has a painting (I think it's a self-portrait) that has something like "Look, he writes on his paintings. Does he think he's something special?" written at the top. The bottom half of the canvas is a solid splotch of red paint. At the very bottom, he's scrawled, "Don't worry, little words, I would never cover you with red paint." I like his work, too. I wonder, though, if what makes Jenny Holzer an "artist" and not a poet is due to what she does with her words, not the words themselves. |
