Colonial Theater, Bethlehem, NH

Take it apart and put it back together. Pull it apart and tape its back, to gather. Tape its part aback and gate tethers: postfix suffused flix & fricative fictions. Order and disorder and rigidity and softness and corners and the spaces outside the lines and the protective margins and the centrality of edges and the way a constellation depends more on where you are than what you’re looking at and how the frame says this part is the (art) and this part is the (world) and how a gas will expand to fill whatever space it’s given and how I make a better door than a window and how you can see where a room will be in another room and whatever balloons are and how the welcome mat at your house can spin however you’d like and how we think so much of the edges of the images but then tape it in parts aback and gate tethers: suffixes posted like misdirection and the edges of the fixative frictions.
