“How many yeses can we spend in a day?”

we found ourselves unable to forecast.

So, we decided to follow our intuition day to day. Two applications of intuition were especially resonant with our art practice wherein we located sites from genealogical memory: the grave of an uncle not visited since childhood: a long beach boardwalk near the former family cottage. a policy of neglect is an attempted incantation, a method to place memories where they were made to acquaint our selves now with our selves then. A graveyard in Greysville and an endless boardwalk on the north shore of PEI serve as landmarks for two storytelling voices; the same murky story where the authors dissolve into land, and details fall into the sea.

a policy of neglect is a hypnotic retrospective of trudging through domestic space-time and hoping intuition is in good working order.

The sculptures and works in borrowers and bullies fold out of a policy of neglect
