Artist Statement:

My line of thought
is as follows
its
a form
a system
made of sub systems
of a circuit
of a memory board
of pages
of words
of a pencil
of a battery
of a switch
to be switched on
when needed
when I am in
a state of mind
the energy flows
through a channel
of thoughts
that generate
in a line
or
a series of lines
which are infinite
I randomly
write
my words
my inspirations
distributed
in the source
of my thinking system
my sketch book
