Birch Plywood, Plexiglass, Sheet Rock. Walker Percy taught me, in Loss of the Creature not to stand where I am supposed to stand. An observation deck is precisely the place to go to not see what is supposed to be seen. Percy’s primary example is the Grand Canyon. Due to the Canyons proliferation through photography and print the tourist’s perception of it has thinned to a post card before he has ever stood in front of it. The tourist then sets out to capture the Canyon in an image as he has seen it before. Picture perfect. The idea of the Canyon has become a commodity. The traveler is out to consume. He has lost his sovereignty. Percy’s observation of the depreciation of the traveler’s ability to perceive the Canyon extends to all things that have been given a handle by “the experts” from which they can be grasped. This is the Loss. One learns that the Finch’s scientific name is the Fringillidae and there is no more need to give the bird further consideration. The name becomes the observation deck from which to view the bird called “finch.” The movement from the earth to the deck is an infinite movement. It’s the movement between seeing what is there and seeing what we think we are a supposed to see. It’s not the earth that thins out due to proliferation.
