I is a dream Body has

My friend Ray Evanoff asked me to contribute to his online publication FOCI Arts.

It is best accessed on his site directly by following this link: FOCI Arts – Art and Athletics 4

but I have also included this version below for those that just happen across my site willy-nilly….

Introduction by Ray Evanoff

One of the parallels between athletics and art is that both are personal practices. The daily endeavors of such practice become ritualized over time. The repetitive work therein becomes a study of one’s self, forming inroads to unarticulated regions. These regions may be defined or clarified or altered or reflected by the practices that illuminate them. Athletic and artistic practice may thus connect with other parts of life.

Here artist Angela Guyton branches both outward and inward from her physical practice, charting regions along the way that are both personal and broadly applicable. Her’s is a reflection on the body as medium for the insubstantial but intensely significant. She is an overlap between athlete and artist.

Dialogue

I made these a year ago but I wasn’t ready to let anyone see them. I worked on these everyday for a while then. They’re a dialogue I was trying to open up to. Between me and me…or the universe and the universe. They are both, and they are silly.  They’re little drawings, because as it turns out the universe is ridiculous sometimes.

That’s Helmut Lemke. He was my teacher for a while.

That’s my husband, Rod. We don’t always see eye to eye.

Exposition

On January 22, 2013

So the most important thing to me would be

THE SIMPLE TRUTH

It’s that fundamental idea that I’m just here.

There’s nothing more to say about that.

Then there’s something I have to deal with:

THE IMAGINARY ADVERSARY

Then there’s

LANGUAGE ITSELF

which is that it is a filter.

Then we can talk about

WHY

This can be broken up

—as far as I know, or have thought about it—

into MY MOTIVATION and THE CONDITIONS

Then there’s

METAPHOR

That is called the Homunculus, and this is called the Cartesian Theatre.

Memories! That’s weird…

Then it will be the end of our species.

Again, I need to focus on right now.

So some of my MOTIVATIONS are fear-based

Maybe you’re just me.

Maybe you’re just me out there.

[At this point I should have written

PROCESS

This occurred to me only later that day.]

probably the most

legible manifestations of that communication
