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.
