saul pierogi

Saul sees living things as leaving a physical mark, a stain or an imprint. The cyclic nature of the earth and our bodies serve to jog the mind, to remind us of the propensity to seek progress within cycle, and to measure that progress against the repetitive constant. Layers of holes, cracks, smudges, graffiti and signage on the surfaces of the earth, the body and within urban environments speak to this cycle and read as a palimpsest on which personal, political and cultural histories are written. As the inveterate layers of marks intermingle and merge with the new, they create an iconography significant to the present, yet allude to both the past and future. Saul's intent is to follow and record these marks as evidence of the spectacle.
