This text is admittedly not a thesis. I write here within the prescribed format of theinstitution I am poised to leave, about the show, The Ringer Irreconcilable, that I considered the main body of work to be presented. As such this is more of a short artist book containing my thoughts and expansion of ideas that surround my work in the essay form. In many ways, this "abstract", an institutional requirement to have this text added to a database never to be read again, has little to do with the content of my art or the essay. It frames what is about to follow but reveals almost nothing but vague ideas about what the content is. This is because here I make an attempt to illustrate rather than tell. Of course, this is an impulse that as a visual artist I must indulge and the content of this abstract will hopefully become more clear once you've reached the end. Thanks for reading v
