We change everything we touch and everything we touch changes

We Change Everything We Touch and Everything We Touch Changes draws upon the vast, expressive potential of beds in their many forms, human and otherwise (i.e., coral-beds, death-beds, flower-beds, fossil-beds, river-beds, sedimentary-rock-beds, sleeping-beds, and so on). Qualities of horizontality and support draw this research together, but also a certain nondistinction between surface and depth, exterior and interior, which reminds us that when we are in-the-bed we lie on-the-bed. Applying the logic of assemblage, the formal structure of this work grasps several genres and a broad selection of subject matter via storied descriptions and visual material to form a recursive sense of textuality. Throughout, extimate aesthetics offers a conceptual foundation to register the indivisibility of exterior-objective forces within interior-subjective experience.
