The squiggle is the icon of inconsequence, faff, become the middle finger that Laura Owens made her career on. Lily van der Stokker's pink punk. Hanne Darboven just passing the time. But its important to sediment time, stitch yourself to it, say, "I was here."  And Art is a means to attach whatever is in your head to forever, aggrandize thought with color and composition's altar piece. Here, the squiggle. The graffiti cast into time.
