Artist Statement:
I am interested in projects
that evolve casually, by
default, without necessarily
having an initial conceptual
framework.My interest in the
casual and in limitations,
personal and other, as an
element in my process was
triggered by the Logbook
Project which gew out of a
practice that evolved
organically around my working
day and the need to make time.
The painting project
documented here evolved from a
similar logic: using a
personal limitation as a
system for collecting images
from the net. The default
setting is my habitual typos
and misspelling. I allow the
search engine’s prompt to
guide me. Choices of color and
technique are also random.
A BEAUTIFUL RANDOMNESS
Since beginning this project I
have learned that the word
Google is itself a
mis-spelling of a numerical
term. Not only that but the
naming of the numeral, as a
googol, is a beautiful story
of randomness. Google in
googol and find the story.
