I have this raw set of data, the 6 symbols. But that's just an exchange of chemicals. Intake, extake, and partake. What does the internal space look like? I want to get that in this piece. That's why I want to include these drawings and some English words, phrases, and interesting shit I rip from art history and my own imagination. They're jokes, humorous tidbits and stuff I'm interested in. It's all a big illustration of mental detritus and inspiration.
These forms inform everything that I make. They're a product of my subconscious and they give a more multi-layered vision of who Caleb Wassell is. These shapes and forms are the kind of art I want to make because they are symbols in themselves. Each one is a new document, describing a mood, a law, an internal landscape. This week has been trying. That's why i vomited all these automatic shapes all over my notes and my mind. They're the leftovers from all the drugs and alcohol and hookups and rap ha.
I'm still workin on articulating all this and integrating it with the screen printing elements. Aesthetically, it should mesh pretty well cause it's still all invented language, contrast and graphic as all high hell. Next stop: HUGE paper scrolls.
Check out this piece I made this week. That's what it looks like baby!
