BLUEPRINTS
Blueprints are future memory machines, transports, events, apparitions that bridge environment and religious, industrial, political response to it. Sublime, entropic relationships of use-value and natural production. They are a summation of all I knew and didn’t know about the world: clichés, dreams, family stories, all went into the poems that entitle each piece and are embedded in them. From Esperanto to Ojibwe, seventeen languages in all; the process of translation informs the imagery after the fact.
