Investigating the Source of Form


The source of work will always be present within its self, and when the source is used not as style choice but as an investigation will an mêlée for form unfold? The current struggle is; does one need to acknowledge within the work that an investigation into it’s own sources is taking place? Does it take place after the work is completed by a self-reflected title? Is this approach of titling a work in this matter removed from the physicality of making, further rendering the acknowledgement of the source as mere concept never merging with the form within the work?  Must determining the formal presentation of a body of work come from the investigation of the source resulting in and subsequently creating reasons for the supplementary exploration into the source? Does the then determine form used to talk about the reasoning for the source creates the footholds for how the rest of the elements are utilized into a Concept? Yes!

The form of rubbing became an investigation of source.
