Blue Lust Diagrams

"I’ve created numerous works in which the tension is between the strictness of the form and violation of the form. Like Stein, I, too, loved diagrams in school. I found them logical and comforting. 

The hot texts of desire I felt and then I broke. Eventually, I destroyed the diagrams as well. 'If If' is my favorite because the straight line convention is destroyed and the look is lyrical, amusing, adorable. 

This collection is more difficult than you might imagine. I wanted phrases to go missing, become inchoate, to collapse in the face of lust. 'Up Fifty Feet' has the feel of reaching, the body straining to be free – a dance-gesture." -- from Blue Lust Diagrams, Introduction
