IN PRAISE OF DUST

Abstract

A desire path is a physical manifestation of where a system has failed, but also where it has been refused, where a new path has been made. The wake exists in the post, it is not a singular, untethered event, but a subtle double entendre that lives in the post-death, but also in the pre-life—not a liminal limbo, but a superposition of dying and waking. This collection was assembled and composed over the course of two years as I navigated my practice, myself, and others. Present here are my thoughts, my experiences, and in many ways my beliefs. IN PRAISE OF DUST aims to generate a cosmology for my practice and work thus far. The form of this work, however, is neither art, per say, nor philosophy: it is study, it is practice, it is speculation
