Why Another Foot Is Important
( how our explanation became anti-classic artfulness )
Every previous piece started from an object and described what it saw. This one started from a rationale and destroyed most of it. Broke it into fragments, displaced every reference, added mirroring of raw conflict, ended with accusing itself. A stiff rationale became soft material.
The first version was a research document. The second became a Territories note. This time the subject is not a flat or dimensional physical item ... it is a piece of critical conjuring. Compression, imagery over explanation, closing on The Thing not the meaning. Methodology can write its own perceptions. That opens a closed door.
