Disarrray, with Three Rs

Image

Unfortunately, when you illustrate Disarray with a text component, the text become nigh-impossible to read. That’s why I’m grateful for the annotative aspect of blogging–I can provide the text in readable format, thus:

Discussion’s fine if density goes SHEER
It helps when once-opacity turns clear
Still: bubbles effervesce in Perrier
And NOW is quickly LOST in yester-day

Does it seem random? (Note to historians of the future: in the first decade of the twenty-first century, the word “random” developed a pejorative connotation.) I’d like to point out that Disarraneous rhymes with Miscellaneous.

Why are there three Rs in my Disarrray? Just seemed right.

    I like the touch that it was scanned crooked.
    I love the notes; they complete the work very well.

    In some works of contemporary art, the notes say much more than the work itself. I remember the case of a artist friend of mine, who had done a work on Sherlock Holmes, with clues and objects and narration, put the whole thing in garbage bags and exposed the bags on the gallery wall. Without the notes, it was rather obscure!

      Thanks for picking up on the crooked scan; and I’m so glad you read and like the notes. I’ve been annotating my work since my one-person show at the University of Arizona in the early 80’s…
