70cm x 70cm: Paper, cotton, graphite, needle, rubber, razor-blade.

O—recently I went to this talk about Malevich's Black Square—that 0 point of painting. And now look I have made one myself. But I wasn't aware of this at the time, only after when I measured it—and O!—that powerful number 7. So it is a Black Square but it is also an archive of (inaccessible) articles and books (the entire article—the entire book). I've keep them 15 years now—texts that speak the occult power of words—words from spirit-worlds, under-worlds, Other-worlds. Words buried under graphite—that crystalline carbon built by hexagonal atoms—some rubbed clean like:  What is speaking? Why do we speak? The sewing, the binding, the angles—the functional and the aesthetic meeting in my very own Black Square. O—I've also included the equipment to keep going or unpick—break the glass if it all gets too much.
