IAP 01 ~ Aleixander Norton
Naked lake
T w o
Is spelt,
Space among
Atom columbine
And harvest a seed
To produce plant based leaf products
They make a face
A facial idea
Faculties will tell you
~ this will be useful
III
Are
The basis of aesthetical
Based upon learnt grammar
Grandmas say
Once the time is passed
You are eventually dead
IIIIII
Tortoise, walked
Turtles swam
Only because a second s came along to inspire
Turtles swam
You see, s
Implies a swam
IIIIIIIII
When my brother lay down
All their organs unraveled
Pieces of his mind.
Uncover your desperate sadness
IIIIIIIII
Sat in an art collectors room
With the half stuck
Plaster feet parade
Dirt and pile
Eventual
Isolation
Books
Books
So many books
Can you see the disintegration
Rubble
Dust emerge
Fallen
I’m sorry I left you
I was spending time with her in her bed
I thought it would have been something
Everything projected then
Eventually fell
I’m staring at all the books
Information is a key tool
You have the key in a pocket
It’s safer to keep the key in your pocket
Did I not tell you
To hit your own head
Does not achieve
Will you dump your own body into a shallow river
To swim

ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED
You heard a mahogany table
Shift to a right and place on the top of a mountain
Woodland, spring
You can feel it when you discover time panels
It’s the kind of thing that just happens
You know
Like
Two grey hound buses falling off the side of the road
The rabbit leaving their legs at home
Turning to frogs on the speedway
That kind of thing
III
People hire me to fix their internet
I have a few methods of repair
In the beginning I turn it on and off
After that
I’ll unplug it and press the reboot button
If this is not successful
I will come back another day
IIIII
I am the wood carpenter
I make things from wood
I wake up
And pack away my wood for the day
Today
Someone told me to print business cards
They should read as follows
~
I am the wood carpenter
I make things from wood
III
Walk around with a piece of paper in your hand at work
It can be blank
When your colleague asks you
Say your just doing an errand
hi
my name is intellerable
no i wont give you a doner
shes my wife
Q&A
Summarize your work in one word?
HumanWhat inspires you to continue making work?
People, animals, ongoing issues and the need to continue to explore our environment.What are you currently working on at the moment?
I am working on a Poetry publication called ‘Conversations with’, focusing on any kind of ISM, prejudice, difference of opinions, sentimentality within humans, positive and negative parts. Through Placing real life concerns in an abstract and absurdist structure aims to open up our conversation through the aesthetic of words and how they are used within the art context, away from a poetry context.
Who inspires you most to push your work further?
The people around me form a group that physically pushes me to new heights. Every city I move to allows me to gather people whom inspire and provide inspiration back to them ~ the artist’s cycle. The writers around me, in particular Dayna Gross, Vincent Reineke, Mairead Kiernan, Ron Ingalla, Luke Swenson, Marius Presteud and their visual work, in particular Maansi Jain, Lois Da Silva, Sam Laughlin, Gabriel Hollington and the work of Weserhalle, a gallery in Berlin, run by Ben Ham, provide me with a group of artists that I can reach out and talk to, provide connections with, invite to self initiated projects and collaborate with. These people are super heroes on and off the court of art and home.
If you could say anything to your former self, regarding your art practice, that would help you progress what would it be?
Every self initiated step you take is providing you with a piece that will form a bigger work later on. Nothing is ever finished. Every person you meet and love with connect you to your ideas and send your ambition higher, allowing you to seemingly create a path that is your ‘destined’ route within art. Hey, right now, other people are being published a lot, and you just graduated, but give it time, you do not need to find your medium, you will continue to add to your pallet and then the penny will drop that you are an artist, not a specific skill persona.
