My textures don't have
specific meanings; they work like hangers.
They are open texts to open readers.
The textures are pre-textuals and textiles.
They are not pretexts for aesthetic decorations.
Textures and surfaces are previous texts and at the same time <pos-texts>:
seeds of text or fossil texts waiting for meanings.
Depending on the viewer, the textures become science fiction of
the past or archaeology of the future, technological or biological.
My references are pre-Colombian and post-Clintonian.
Our world is full of signs that we cannot understand: new circuits,
old alphabets, atoms, dolmens, cells, biologic or urban fabrics,
encrypted messages, mutant viruses.
We are condemned to know more and understand less; it's not a contradictory
process, it's a semiotic indigestion.
