"I Am Me"

^This barcode was using my personal details: birth month/day/year/hour/minute and then matched to my height. It's made of reflective tape which forms a beautiful triangle between the audience in the abstracted image of myself as artist through the mediation of the artwork. Of course, that's the way art functions when it's not part of an independent system beyond the perspective of the artist (such as tribal arts where the "art" isn't communicating a certain artist's point of view so much as it is a trigger for stories, traditions and spiritual ceremonies). This work focuses the mechanics between artist, art and audience in such a clear way that it seems almost diagrammatic. I enjoy its simplicity as well as the associations it brings up. What do you think? Think Gallery 4, New York City, NY, April, 2009. A big "thank you" to Cora Lambert who invited me and went to bat with the owners, my brother, Rob Stinson who made a special trip down from Boston to make sure the piece got finished and, of course, everyone who came to see it. I miss you all in NYC!
