Text from objects in waiting catalogue

I could not send the original objects because I would be forced to chop my arm off or at least
a section of it. The invitation to this exhibition arrived at a fortuitous moment as this is an
object that I have only recently acquired and will only have for a short space of time, it is in a
sense an object that cannot wait. As I write it no longer resembles the modest photo that I
took.

The mark arrived after I had burned myself with a hot piece of metal. I noted that others
would notice it but were often too embarrassed to ask how I came to have it there on my arm
in the first place. If they did ask I would take some pleasure in describing the painful
circumstances by which I came to have this regular geometric shape on my arm, and the
listener would often show signs of discomfort and disgust. It seemed an interesting object
simply because of the ill ease or slight fascination it aroused in others. For me it is less a
question of ill ease than simple pain, but it has become equally an object of fascination,
though now it is no longer what it was.
