Tracings
by Sandy Beach
After a Jasper Johns show—2004 Walker Art Center, Minneapolis
|
not accommodation but appropriation
riddle me this
how to fill the blank page
one
don't give anything away
two
hover before green angels and after Holbein
three
dissect Pablo the old Minotaur himself be ballsy
four
push pull apart re convening re using motif texture and drift
five
pursue flaying layers endlessly reassert circuitous secrets
six
stripe facevases and shadow duckrabbits trace lineages
seven
flags are symbols of collective processed insecurities use this
eight
this painting say certain inkings on plastic say intaglio
nine
us them and thou use it all all of it again and again until we see
