IN LIMBO


         Work in progress. Sheets of newsprint suspended from fishing line.





Foucault talks about “ working at the edge of an un-thought, slowly building a language in which to think it” (Fisher and Fortnum, 2013,72) 





While making art I see myself 
                                             walking rather 
                                                                  than working,
                                                                                     
                                                                                     at the edge of  the un-thought 
                                                                                                       as if it where a cliff
                                                                                                       trying to find a way 
                                                                                                                         to think 


                                           


                                                                                                                                 it.
