coarse reality... but it will
have a rustic quality and
will smell of the earth
grows--grows fruitful. The
chaos feeds it. Chaos feeds
the tree.
-Peter Selz
There is a sense of volcanic flow and tectonic shift in these jubilant
etudes on seep and weep, sludge and snot, and above all, flow. Ultimately,
Geiser's subject matter is viscosity itself.
-Richard Speer
