Michael Beal
"Untitled 107"
The tendency toward humor, deliberate, always ends in ego. Humor is a tactic, the flare of the pedestrian backed against a wall by sabres. All art, when tactile, is something that was already there anyway, buried in our minds, in our shaky hands and in the fires which we avoid, continually avoid, out of pity, out of madness, out of song.
