dms work is EMBRACE: to go-see and assimilate the the other stimulus of course is lamento, georges batailles` transgression/excess and even ciorans disadvantage of being born - but always, short before disintegrating, a smile pops up and the unsuccessful work gets touched up - disappearance and the prospect of failure lead to a fresh start - the original vital dimension of ones existence is the fear not to qualify ? anyways, back to the

with a big stink, remodeling themselves while ageing and inviting on their
way to shipwreck flies, funghi, and other lifeforms to root and make themselves
a home in these works of art in the end once again
