The work is a running commentary on the nature of modern space. Forever interesting, and relentless, it is a conceptual matrix where nothing is able to represent the natural world. Proposed as a virtual, quantum space, a syntax, the quality of which is made up by the very rules that constrain: therein lies the brilliance of the system. Incapable of a narrative, it is composed of modules within modules, syntactic, never rhetorical. It has no boundaries and as representation is based on semantics, a camouflage of implied politics, gender, ethnic, surrealist, and cubist order, the work asserts a universal order. It is an overlay of a grammar database where the aesthetics may be found in method: ie, in the way rules are applied; aesthetic gratification varies to the extent limits are perverted, rules bent, and prohibitions transgressed. The work is clarity or obscurity; an idea located always in the now, in the everpresent, pure, conceptual modernism. And it is a good reminder that creation is finished and there is no-thing to earn and the purest syntax always has an unspoken story; a silent subtext: all are made for the purpose of revealing what is not and not what it is to be; in other words not to represent but to reveal.
