Abstract
Justification for the excuse is a short conversation the artist had with himself in the style of an interview aimed at fleshing out questions related to the work and also the practice of art making both specific to himself, and the subsequent reflection on contemporary culture and traditional timelines in sculpture and art making as a whole. Eric talks about placement or display, interests in materials, how the body can be used as a performative tool, how objects change over time, why make things, and how individual art works and art as a whole relates to one another in Art History. This is both and exercise of paradigm and pataphor1 , describing a space said to function as a critical tool, describing his world of "assumptions based on assumptions," that ultimately lives in the dialogue with oneself that will live in the later recipes of work made and yet to be made.
