–
Things change.
The discussion changes;
the object changes,
then the place,
then the photograph.
Everything that came before is
meaningless and important –
formative.
There is no “body” of work.
The work is now my body,
my head, my heart: a collage.
The knife-sharpener’s whistle,
the experience of Ramon,
the machete blade grinding on the wheel,
his grin, his artful portable workshop,
his hands, two oranges on the ledge,
the recorded image –
how do you separate one from the other
when you say “photograph”?
