So there are a few forms that I've been particularly interested in. One is decaying, peeling, exposed walls. Another is grotesque stuff--mainly grotesque meaning of the body, like the animal organs in the central market or the pieces by spoerri having to do with actual organs or medical engravings of them. The third is tea bags. Weird, I know, but they totally hit this subconscious thing in me. I think it has to do with the fact that when I was a little kid, what I did for fun was a.), make "potpourri," aka pick berries, leaves and flowers, crush them up and put them in a dixie cup; b.) attach balls of moss to sticks and stick them in the ground and call them trees, and C) do the poutpourri thing but put in in a plastic bag and then twist it tight so it made a little ball of poutpourri.
I mean, its a form similar to tea in tea bags. I dont know what I find captivating about it, but I realized the other night as I was stealthily videotaping a tea bag floating in a cup of water and setting off steam, in my room, like a psychotic person basically, that it is something I've found captivating since I was really little, like 5, and didn't know any better.
