60, 6”x9” sheets of mirror interrogate the surface, depth, and logic of meaning. Suspended in mercurious layers of mirror and glass are transfers from his reading of two chapters on consciousness from Jaegwon Kim’s Philosophy of Mind (2006). The content from each chapter has been removed, leaving only marginalia as evidence of an investigation. Rhetorical questions, comments, underlines and asterisk are suspended in a reflexive loop of material that annotates both the viewer’s reflection and the environment as a whole. Standing as secondary signifiers, each page reflects and refracts new information while capturing the same information from new perspectives. These works are not themselves knowledge, but they indicate that knowledge exists. The material process, and the objects themselves allude to the fact that the act of searching for insight on the margins inevitably becomes a search for the self, while questions of what lies beyond become questions of the content within.
