Conversations with the machine

moments from a disjointed life 

randomly jotted down on garish pieces of paper,
roughly the size of playing cards

no need to shuffle the deck this time

This project started with doodles drawn on whatever paper was in front of me at the time. Any line, shape, creature or pattern that caught my eye, I'd save.

At some point during the process of turning these ideas into something more (most likely in the middle of the night), I started writing, trying to translate the images and sentiments the work conjured up within me, into words.

Big things sometimes have small beginnings, and to me, this is certainly a big thing. Several years have passed since I saved the first of these scribblings and a lot of time has been spent on finding a suitable format. Finally the pieces fit together.
