The prose in this case will not be treated as a literary work but as an extension of pre-conscious vision around which my practice has centered. When we read, we activate both a consciously aware state and the pre-conscious workings of our memories, this internal plane where perspective can be realized as a special architecture without form. While writing has the potential to motivate all of the senses, I use it in an attempt to restore the concrete to its original state; the internalized presence of its dimension.
