Invitation to viewers - Make a switch from one idea to another - (make a statement).

Action - think while you kiss the scrap of paper , put on a consecutive number, add your name and number to the list.

Lipstick is not necessary, use it if you want, but it is the action that counts.

Statement

The starting points of most concern are:

1. PICTURE - the image to encapsulate a dynamic.
2. STATE - the concept and paradoxes of experiencing, 'here' and knowing about 'there'.
3. PLACE (Dimension) - the viewing point and the seen view

The notion of ‘switch’ and ‘bridge’ dealing with connection between here and there.

The way our mental constructs can jump between metaphysical states of reality.
The ambiguity of the construction, activated by ‘the seen’ creates a synergy between elements of the triad."

John Brown
