late sept heat

well here is my garrage studio, its hot as hell out here,

last night i was painting with tar, for the first time, its an odd medium, but you get these great sepia tones outta it, , i made this one piece of these stacked chicken bones and started working the tar into it with these enamel paints into it, and i was taken back by the use of this(WOW), i could spin a whole lotta work off this just chiken bones and tar and wood glues burlap, ,

but it thought ,yea this has been done before, i know it has,( not thats the main idea behind this,. but what got me was the Africainness of it, very VooDoo like, could i a white man make work like this, and it be authinic? just the raw combunations of material reeks of this, there is nothing i could go but get sucked into the stylizations of it, , mainly make pictures or landscapes with people running around but made outta chicken bones, .
it got my head spinning about this wierd paradox or contradiction or label about do enharent elements become so culturely glued to something, that no one could use them other than the authors?
so
i went on this whole idea about "Wiggers", what it means , and all these examples of white men acting black , what some examples? a show idea not about black identy but more or less the idealizations from white men to black men, more in a pro stance, not as an satire?. cause it would be white men doing this?, in an almost copycat way, but it would reviel a process in which cultures borrow from each other.

the tar and chicken thing just looks heavy handed, and if i did a bunch of work around it , it would almost be best to just give it to a homeless man, and just watch what happens,
thats one thing i have seen alot around here is homeless crazy folks, they are like these ghoasts that just roam around and deal with the enviorment,

one of the challeges, is the artifact at hand and the maker , do the makes tight cast the object even if the object contratdicts its Author ?
