It is the clich\u00e9 not the image, not the picture that reverberates, that echoes the traffic of history, the freighted footprint of our existence. The mining of the clich\u00e9, excavating it as representation, as picture\u2014co-opting it, infusing it with an urgent agency.<br \/>\nRevitalizing it&#8217;s tenants\u2014history, popularity, repetition, myth\u2014rents the clich\u00e9 as we understand it, and it&#8217;s purpose outside and separate from comfort of it&#8217;s couching not as familiar or non threatening but edgy unsure, captivating. With use the clich\u00e9 becomes it&#8217;s clich\u00e9.<br \/>\nUsing images, be it photographs or film stills (Still-life) tells a better story or at least an interesting one. The manipulation of fragments, of feelings, of thoughts rent mute is the gist of our interior selves as story. Pictures, singularly or in juxtaposition with others act like a mise en scene. It is not what is seen but what is suggested that is the condition, the echo of it&#8217;s own clich\u00e9. A clarity of intent obscured, filtered, suggests an enigmatic reading. Images occupy the fragile working place of memory\/imagination. Agitating this cleavage between thought and action develops the inchoate into something like an identity, like an understanding though fleeting. My work is a representation of a representation, an acknowledgement of the clich\u00e9 and sharing with the past, with the present and future.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7825\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/studio.jpg?resize=696%2C464&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/studio.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/studio.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/studio.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/studio.jpg?resize=696%2C464&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/studio.jpg?resize=630%2C420&amp;ssl=1 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-7824\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/3ee6a3c665850f96-DMwithKrisandGirl-1.jpg?resize=696%2C522&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/3ee6a3c665850f96-DMwithKrisandGirl-1.jpg?w=766&amp;ssl=1 766w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/3ee6a3c665850f96-DMwithKrisandGirl-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/3ee6a3c665850f96-DMwithKrisandGirl-1.jpg?resize=80%2C60&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/3ee6a3c665850f96-DMwithKrisandGirl-1.jpg?resize=265%2C198&amp;ssl=1 265w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/3ee6a3c665850f96-DMwithKrisandGirl-1.jpg?resize=696%2C522&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/3ee6a3c665850f96-DMwithKrisandGirl-1.jpg?resize=560%2C420&amp;ssl=1 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interview\/DMSimons.mp3Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | TuneIn | RSS | Click here to join mailing list An Interior Biography &#8211; by DM Simons Images and words are the stuff of history spilling into clich\u00e9s.
