unknown friend : 4 explodes the triangle god
(Artwork)

Referencing the work of writer Jorge Luis Borges and filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky that inspired this work, Alex Kimball explains: "The voracious reader pauses, overwhelmed. The words don't make sense. 'There is nothing but quotations left for us.' Fragments of thoughts from books and films are mimicked by the parrot-artist. The writer says 'there's no Bermuda triangle. There's a triangle ABC, which is even to a triangle A'B'C'.' These are the rational laws of the world, and there is no god unless it is that triangle. The object-paintings revolt and defy being read. They come out mutated. A monstrous 4 emerges, a blind 4 that coaxes the demons and gnomes to shuffle and speak in the dark. Divine darkness."
