It is only when the switch is flipped, when that world is altered in such a way that it defies the neat corners that our minds so crave, that we can begin to realize there is a universe beyond our tiny square of consciousness.<\/p>\n William Pope.L<\/a> da wootitah widdih. \/ Ehm scivit uh bk eh hmm uhh nkits eh le poss mutz goets un teh nwooket e le vant un le sestit ehh p ehh sciwah. \/ G’uhtehh aligeh da tkoste yea mm egidotor boutwah g’dlskdt loubackah ditzitiwa wootehketz kp### yebitse ehti gebooh<\/em> t’ehm ngt eh bahkit ilevahm tgliwahwotoh eleket fotit edeh en ickabotsee eh deckopts fot en…<\/p>\n In addition his well known work as a performance artist and interventionalist, Pope.L produces paintings, photography and theater as well as being an educator for many years.
