Abstract

I have always liked things that were all at once. Not abundance so much as excess. But excess is not quite the correct word. What I am thinking about, what I have many times tried to make, what I have often loved, is the exuberance of too much possibility. Too much: those things that capture, or at least organize and aestheticize, the ways the world is often too much. This essay theorises this 'too much' through my own practice and through the work of Gertrude Stein, specifically her essay 'Plays' and her opera 'Four Saints in Three Acts'.
