Every Interaction Interupts the Future shows her most recent body of works – briefly recalling the history of her postal works. Texts are by New York based art critic and writer RoseLee Goldberg and Johannesburg based writer Rory Doepel. " The following is taken from the artist's website: "I have a fascination with the consequences that follow a single action. I allow myself to dwell in the sheer wonderment of the simplicity of this notion, the reality of effect. Yet despite this simplicity it evades our perception. The exact unfolding consequence of an act cannot be traced. At most we can make crude associations between our more obvious actions - hardly realising the subtle, yet perpetual, ripple of effect that is the result of every action. Interactions affect our movements, they take us places. Literally this can mean geographic places, but there are many kinds of pathways. Looking at the acute nuances of different paths we take, the smallest decision can determine a different life. We cannot always know which decision rendered us here now, or where the multitude of different decisions we didn't make would have taken us. But somehow, being conscious that there are a myriad of possibilities we could choose, makes our actions seem less casual and more causal. The contribution of each movement can be pivotal in each life, which in turn will ripple through all lives". - Lieberman Jan 2003. SIGNED BY ARTIST.
