Issue No. 8: Residue

”residue”

For all of your immediacies and adjacencies,

Cast as a byproduct, you are evidence of exquisite precipitations.

A footprint, a fingerprint, an incomplete memory captured in dust

Residue

Your lingering light proliferates–a rehearsal for fragmentation. Show us your enduring presence, your practice, your operations, your abstractions.

Sweet residue, will you recast yourself? Appropriate, adopt, or couple your realities to something new?

Once rendered obsolete, your stubborn persistence defies destruction

Incorrigible stillness eating the decadence of time.

What you lack in form, cast and scattered, secret intelligence refines.

Proof of energetic transfers, of memorials, of synthetic, material choreographies

Painting surfaces, peeling tape

Remind us of your cousins, your contemporaries, and your fossils...

You are a timestamp, a trace, a precious accumulation

A drifter, a snack, a depreciation

Dream-fiber of imagination, tangential perception

Flotsam, jetsam, commodity-thing

Midstream, or right-on-the-line…

A crumb, deserted, unwanted, but wanted, an afterparty, in such good company

…a sticky smear!
