Yesterday, I was walking down Broadway in Soho, and I walked by a store with cartoons playing in the window. I thought; wouldn't be extraordinary to relive your childhood over and over again. Imagine if reincarnation is really true? Then I looked up and saw all the people bustling about and I thought; no we are only natural occurrences. Yet, this very fact is the weirdness of it all. It is even stranger then reincarnation. This scientific truth is easily only a different kind of magic. The fact that we create and that we are spiritual is really the wonder of it all. This natural occurrence is what my technique is all about.
Let me start with Alfred Jarry and the influence of his made-up science called pataphysics upon me. Pataphysics is the study of the particular and not the general. Pataphysics changed my approach l and attitude towards art. As a "pataphysician" all creation-starts with the uncommon. It allows me the freedom to explore and. to look for what I consider hidden jewels. These "jewels" most people consider mistakes and are often overlooked. The unintentional becomes its very meaning.
Poppers and friends pull out a bag of tricks and take the audience on an unexpected ride.Open seating, tricks and a parade.
