Eulogy I, II, III is a modular quodlibet of autobiographical prop comedy, locating myself within the index of a living collection. Within this piece, objects, pictures, and words form subtle maps, landscapes, and portraits of varying legibility. Through an associative matrix of form, function, materiality, and context, I triangulate meaning by connecting objects that rhyme through some factors and directly contradict others. These subjective slippages activate a kind of mental moiré of multi-modal frequencies, similar to the optical misprint itself.
I designed the ghostly typeface of Resume Language Toolkit to echo the learning process as language is tediously carved into the brain. Over 194 days, a set of three oversized inkjet prints recorded the cumulative efforts of the editing process including the 1,345 prior compositional choices inherently lost to the success of publication.
This triptych is cryptically composed of incidental yet hyper-specific details of life and loss, scattered mnemonic traces of intimate interpersonal exchanges, crude jokes, and obsessive research tangents that surface in fragments but never all at once; compressing my sense of here and now through feeling, thinking, experiencing, and intuiting with all other aspects of everywhere and nowhere, past and future, in consideration of existence, meaning, and the unknown.
