Bosch
Gary Goldstein
1993
I’m amazed a surprised looking back at books I did over 30 years ago. I’m surprised that despite repetition there was always a change in what motivated, directed and appeared in the reuse of my own previous imagery. The feeling of threat, of preoccupation, not only with my own feelings, but with a political realities, and their iterations in my daily life. There was erasure, covering, of texts, of information, of reflections of a previous life. Giving way to a hysteria, reflecting the tortured worlds created by Bosch in his work.
