The Art of Iris E.

Negative to Positive  Stucture as Pattern Clich é -verre  Body as Metaphor The first experiments warranted no results.    

I cut up written pieces of Nema's Liber Pennae Praenumbra. I tried to use influence from the artists mentioned on the class blog, but without a printer or excess magazine materials, making decent collages was a barren process. Rather than look like William Burroughs cut-up of just plain text, the text looks like this.  The second example was after S. Levine and W. Mutu but not as detailed as I would like. i.e. Example of Brion Gysin's Cut-Up Work

"Brion Gysin (19 January 1916 – 13 July 1986) was an English painter, sound poet, and writer of the Beat generation who lived right across Museum Pompidou, in Paris, when UK-Avantgarde artist and Industrial music founder Genesis P-Orridge visited his mentor."
