I loved that instead of speaking about his work, he showed us a performance of it.  the use of the projectors not only displayed his work but also set up a simple form of stage lighting. I was somewhat confused when he first began because I didn't understand what all these short tangents had to do with one another. After a while I realized his performance was all about associations no matter how far of a stretch the associations were.  Even in his non performance art pieces he still draws on this idea of interconnectedness. He even wrote one story in which you never find out the resolutions because each chapter went off into some side story from the original one. I feel his work can be described as clever, circular (as in talking in circles), and connected.  Although the form in which he presents his work is different from project to project, his work still seems to embody all these things.

I found his most compelling work to be the creation of his own written language using graphic block formats. The concept of actually creating you own language in order to tell a story is true committal to one's work. I wonder though if his audience has as much trouble looking at this kind of work as I know I would due to the over-complicatedness. His work in which he did an installation in an actual house creating this space of a meth lab that suddenly turned into a grand museum was an interesting idea and artwork I would love to experience. His work always has something to do with a performance whether it is through an experience such as in the house, or if it is one of his association lectures.
