Heteroglyphs 2016-2018
“He recalls having sat there in days gone by, days so remote he doubts whether he really experienced them. It may have been someone on my behalf, perhaps with the same face and name, but some other person.”
“Heteroglyph” is a word I coined for “assemblage” to distinguish my purposes from those of better-known exponents like Grosz, Schwitters, Marisol and Rauschenberg. Most of the Heteroglyphs are wall-mounted and the earlier ones are typically much larger than those that were made from 2016-18. Most consist of components mounted on a backboard, which can be as simple as a thick piece of plywood but include, plastic, metal, paneling from a piano, chair seats and sides, polystyrene foam and printer components. Among fragments attached to these surfaces, ceramic limbs and heads - pre-modelled are nearly ubiquitous. The rest is mostly found objects or fragments thereof.
