This project is the source and origin of much of my recent practice. What began as a short document of collected language gleened (quoted) from a wide range of sources including books, articles, interviews, overheard conversations, fragments of thought, and personal journals eventually became an became a extensive list, several pages long. As the project grew, I became frustrated by the static quality of the list and impulsively reformatted each quote as a card, malleable and mobile, allowing quotes to be rearranged and for new meanings to be created out of their association. With this development, connecting threads and themes became more evident -- eroticism, rupture, ecstasy, transfiguration, opacity, anti-productive expenditure, exposure, violation, revelation, and anarchy. The fronts of the cards (the quotes) can be read on the left. To the right are the corresponding backs with citations. Cards which do not have a citation are my own writing. They are shown here in no particular order inkeeping with my treatment of the card as a form of lottery.
