Fw: [NetBehaviour] RESIDENCY: Seven of 24 artist interfaces: Upton

[Lawrence Upton]

No problem, Jason.

I had a quick look in the root directory, saw my name and drew a conclusion

Mistakes like that happen easily

Thoughts?

Well, I really like it, as I said. I think you've kind of got me, at least
some aspects of me as poet - that may partly be in the way that I pointed
you to some texts rather than others; but what you have done with them is
yours. I like the simplicity and the playfulness

I like seeing the pieces mixed up that way, not in a medley or random, but
making something new. I have a category that I call _boogie_. I make a
text - I'm talking largely about paper-based stuff now and then later I may
make a boogie version of it, fracturing, repeating, syncopating it, often
visually as well as linearly; and i also boogie vispo, but leave that for
now

It's a kind of counterpoint to the fairly high seriousness with which I make
my poems. OK, I get the poem done that way, seriously, and it's there and I
can love it and hug it and call it George; and then I have fun with it by
turning it into a boogie

I like this piece. Beautiful words (!) images sound. Who wouldnt love it...
I think it's good work But *also, from me, well done, that when I looked at
it onscreen this morning there was recognition - blimey that's me that is

& that's sensitivity to materials, that's good reading

Thank you very much
