Description

When I am trying to get the romantic attention of another person,  there is constant self-evaluation taking place.  There is hyper-awareness of the details about and surrounding the object of my desire.  Understanding my place among those details becomes all-consuming.  I watch for patterns and look for clues about my relationship to that person, like a calculator working out values.  I find myself constructing infatuated word problems:  If I am sitting with person K, and X does not take the empty seat on my other side, then X is 1/2 less likely to notice that I am wearing beautiful perfume for X’s benefit.  How can I regain that lost 1/2 of a chance?  “X” is unaware that all this thought and energy is being invested is in them.  Unwittingly, they continually change the variables of my word problems, thus I must change the problems and the conclusions.

Romantic Geometry; An Introduction to Inequalities, is an  audio installation sculpture that marries logical thought processes to emotional impulses.  Let X = You refers to a recurrent line in the audio component of the piece.  Romantic Geometry; An Introduction to Inequalities, is an installation about the materialization of imposed logic upon the frantic calculations of desire.
