flowers, hearts, and double-chairs

birchbark drawings by Neil Farber, 1998.

Ink, watercolour, and some kind of varnish on birchbark (most are around 2X2inches). Happy to find these in the back of a drawer while looking for something else. I think he made these at Paul Cherwick's cabin.

A Feed-back Situation

"I originate movement which Erik translates and returns to me. What I get in return is my movement fed through his sensory system."

2-State Transfer Drawing Dennis to Erik Oppenheim

"As I run a marker along Erik's back he attempts to duplicate the movement on the wall. My activity stimulates a kinetic response from his sensory system. I am, therefore, drawing through him...Because Erik is my offspring and we share similar biological ingredients, his back (as surface) can be seen as an immature version of my own. In a sense, I make contact with a past state."

In a sense, he contacts a future state."
