Constellations on the Horizon

It's been a while since I last contributed to this blog. In that time, I've moved forward and realized I'd strayed from my purpose, compromising my soul. While I enjoy joking that nothing is possible to confuse people, I'm more than just a provocateur. I focus on positivity when creating, rather than merely seeking out silences, gaps, and spaces within the debris of my compositions.

Instead, I aim to capture the essence of what I wish to express. I create mind maps that organize the main elements using a blend of interconnected colors, which emerge as I brainstorm words and phrases. These are recorded on a large sheet of paper that I hang to the right of my workspace. This cluster of meanings remains at my right shoulder as I strive to shape images, sounds, stagings, or other forms that my audience can interpret as the horizon of meaning presented to them.

These interconnected pods of meaning form constellations on the horizon (after Theodore Adorno/Johannes Arnason), offering insight into their reflective matter formed at the intersubjective level of language. In this way, the works exist as speech acts, constantly engaging the audience's minds. They are not random occurrences of meaning but structured interventions in the audience's horizons, both as intersubjective beings and socially active participants. The strangeness of these realities prompts a questioning of the fundamental assertions present as phantoms in the mind's eye of the audience's psyche.
