“By age seventeen, I had a revelation that life and art were inseparable. Indivisible. To really know what was going on around you, you had to locate “control” and those entities with a vested interest in maintaining their tight grasp on it. And then you had to take it apart as best you could. You had to cut it up. Break it into pieces and reveal the ugly interior. Once you decide to devote yourself to this cut-up technique, it joyfully contaminates every aspect of your life. A kind of truth virus. And, for me, it remains the only reliable filter through which to observe this earth and the overriding culture with any hope of accuracy.” #genesisporridge #nonbinary #abramsbooks #psychictv #ptv #throbbinggristle
