"I had this old etching plate in the studio for a long time. Every time I saw it I felt uncomfortable because it was empty and dull. I always intended to mark it and finally I couldn't bear it any longer and attached it to the bed of a Start Rite panel saw so that the operator marked it with the wood as he worked. I am not sure, but I think it has something to do with art and its perpetual referencing back to itself."
My freind's show got a great review.
