stretching cenvasses, ya, I'm stretching books but there are so
many that it is all slack. The books don't mean something.
They are just this vast empty path into the future that I have
created in my mind, They don't measure space, they push space
aside. I have to shed alot to make more space. Sometimes it.
js more like shredding, the way that I cut up all that paper
and collage with what is left over. Making art is like wear-
ing high heeled shoes. It might look good to you on the
outside, but on the inside it hurts. It's like taking every-
thing that I staked my life on and throwing it out the window,
maybe into empty space, maybe into nothingness. Lots of people
ask me, "How many books have you filled?" One...
...ONE book, but damn it, that is not the point. For every
book I fill I can bind 49 more. I don't need "filled" books,

I need "to fill" books so that I can create more space, like
nothing, like potential. You can eat that one book that is
filled, it is not important now, It was a sacrifice. I"m
trying to unmeasure space by taking away Point B, Positive 2,
or better said as shifting Point B. An example of this would
be the story of "Archilles and the turtle" which, I think was
written by Zeno during the time of Aristotle. The path is a
black hole, an undefined volume. The books gobble everything
up and sit there digesting. If I felt like it I could work on
that one book for the rest of my career (I hope to have the
pleasure of retirement), layer after layer upon layer waiting
for the big burp but there is too much of that going on already.
I love that theory about infinitely divisible particles, and
how you can mark the stepping stones to get there but there is
no way of knowing where you were or went between those marks,
points. But I had the same priblem defining the infinitely
divisible particle on the graph +s J] did with defining the

location of the little car on the number line. If a particle is

infinitely divisible then wouldn't it be "O'"' and wouldn't it
then be futile to chart? Perhaps I missed the punchline!
Last year I worked on a circle of learning. It was a pro-

topics. Sometimes I would realize that I needed more in-
formation about certain things. Most of the games would
end up as a discussion and every single discussion was
concerned with the issue of CREATION/DESTRUCTION and so,
I've taken it from there. Contemplating the next three u,
years is difficult when our future is brutally threatened
by a nuclear war, which is which is why the game is called
EVACUATE rather than EVALUATE. It is my greatest hope that
EVALUATE become the name of the game. Destruction beats
faster than the heart. These books that I am working on
now might be the first and the last. I guess that it

depends on the neon in Chinatown, if it goes out I suppose
