Artist Statement
Burning Words
"End of words... One day I woke UP and was aware of a running commentary in my head, explaining every event in my life like an announcer for a gymnastics event. This Voice of Words made comments on everything I did. It would even tell me to put my pants on in the morning. This Voice of Words would also give me a score for everything - conversations I had, how I dressed, talked, sang, fucked, ate, felt. It was tiring, almost exhausting.
Beginning with the Burning Words installation at NY Studio Gallery, I will be creating an art-ritual of the same name at Burning Man 2007. By burning the Voice of Words, I will allow all the other Voices to speak. It will make room for the Voice of Sight, the Voice of Smell, the Voice of Touch, the Voice of Intuition, and the Voice of Nature."
