Overview
Hinge Theory first exfoliated in Smelling Mary (Howling Dog Press, 2008) and from stone this running (Black Widow Press, 2011). Wrack Lariat further emboldens Hinge pioneering by launching four new modules and offering Fusionistic Intercoursing with visual artists past and present. These Intercourses further cement the Robustness that is Hinge, the sheer 'Hygiene' of the Charged Magnetically Explorative.
The philosopher Edmund Husserl concluded that "it is essentially impossible for the spatial shape of the physical thing to be given otherwise than in mere one—sided adumbrations." As if defining Hinge itself, Husserl states, "every experiential multiplicity, no matter how extensive, still leaves open more precise and novel determinations of the physical thing." This inability to "complete" a work exacerbated the 20th century artist Alberto Giacometti who insightfully realized "Artistic depiction is not limited by its own empirical deficiencies, but is, by definition, a never-ending process—endlessly painting over what has already been painted, repeatedly scraping away what has already been expunged, only for it to return anew in some different form."
The "never-ending process" so frustrating Giacometti is the Elixir of Hinge. In Wrack Lariat we find Hinge Exalting in Multiplicitous Expansionisms Endlessly Mobilizing, cheerfully trumping needs to fixate, to grasp, to en-frame, to conclude. It is fitting that Wrack Lariat ends with an opening: the section "Aperture."
