a form of notation

From an interview with david baptiste-chirot

i can remember when i very first made rubBEings–quite clearly–and the way they function has not changed at all–other than having lived with them through time. i have come to be very grateful to/with them–as through acutely difficult times i have been able to make contact with a form of notation in the world and be in a shared communication with it. a notation which is there hidden in plain sight! i, at times, seek to be out of conventional language–as within it one feels very much trapped, tortured almost at times–so the yearning for an outside–yet at same time–a place where one may join in and find a means of one’s own being a part of the ongoing conversation–something that brings one forth into. . .an immense continuum, one might call it, is a yearning for freedom. in a way one feels this all around one, this kind of reaching out–so this form is really a means of finding that “shock of recognition” right here. “look under your feet” as Chuang-Tzu says.
