This piece in the series is a party invitation. In keeping with the series material process themes, this work made me learn a new crocheting stitch and required the leisure time to create several hand-made objects in a smaller time frame. The party was themed on the thought-work of George Bataille: that of excess, of destruction and the joys of debt and not being sober or entirely 'civil'. The piece itself was a meditation on his philosophy. Why have an invitation that was readable at will? To get the party information, one had to destroy the structure of the invitation and pull it apart in order to get at the most important part: the tumor, or excess, of the sphere.
The information itself called for black-tie and insinuated bringing costly and overly extravagant food and drink. Get down with Bataille. And drink, dress, smoke, feed and sex yourself into oblivion.
