Best of PRSG 97 On The World Wide Web







Aileen Cormack

I consider myself a human equivilent to the dung beetle.
In so far as I like to surround myself with refuse. ( a polite term)
Other words for my media include: discards, scraps, floatsam,
jetsam, waste products, detritus, cast-offs, and drywall screws.
Basically, stuff nobody wants.
Stuff you throw away.

My junk is my alphabet.

Other visual artists and things I enjoy looking at: Louise
Nevelson, Rene Magritte, unfinished construction projects, Judy
Phaff, California Funk, Deborah Butterfield, heavy machinery,
Gertman Expressionists (old and new), Jean Tinguely, and many
more can't think of right now.

Here are some adjectives that could describe my current work
Animated
playful
figurative
ridiculous
structural
contrary
underpriced
heavy
inhospitable
clunky
and . . .
some what absurd. . . which I kinda like.
