Recall

1974

2’ x 2’ x 8’

“In Recall I’m using turpentine as a device to activate the memory, past experiences when the smell occurred. The material is actually inhaled- I stuffed cotton saturated with turpentine into my nose, and like a drug, it induced an alteration of a past region in which the smell prevailed, and I verbalize in a kind of rambling stream of consciousness monologue.”
