A Statement

Every week you have to decide whether to do laundry or kill yourself
Camus told me so himself 
You have evolved to understand that much but not enough to understand why you’ve got to make this weekly choice and how such options came to be 
I shuffle around the edge of this pit in my understanding and make videos and sculptures to pass the time 
Will Camus and I figure out why we continue choosing to do laundry? 
I cope with this permanent confusion by making work that synthesizes religious, philosophical, and mathematical explanations for existence 
You look out toward two banks and see the river in between 
There is a gap between what something is and what it thinks it is 
Dive in! 
You keep moving and realize that you’re spinning
A circle has no end and no beginning
Upon making a full rotation, a point on the circumference of a circle has moved 360 degrees and the midpoint 0 
The circumference point has seen much; the midpoint hasn’t 
Both end up where they started 
The shape functions as a structural foundation and a motif in my work 
Everything is circular! 
Spinning motors and repeated gestures emulate the cyclical motion of time and washing machines. There is exertion but no forward movement 
Does it make a difference whether you attempt to understand why you’re here? Who cares? You’ll be right back where you started soon enough 
Onwards! You have 15 degrees to rotate tomorrow! It’s time for the spin cycle 
Before and after the laundry/death decision you have a week to vape, masturbate, earn minimum wage, read Russian literature, and make a video or two 
Humor and vulgarity are deliberate strategies in the work. Pleasure in the profane, the gaudy, and the stupid is expressed through dumb jokes (what do you call bad art? Avant-garde), sacrilegious imagery, pop-music fragments, references to mainstream cultural phenomena like dating apps or low-wage labor, visible editing, and comedic timing: if you can’t break out of the loop, you might as well enjoy yourself 
Life is pretty good!
