Rob, you’re quite right – if you make anything in a public (or even shared) place without consultation, you need to be expect it to be gone, or at least modified in an angry way, pretty quickly! Of course, this could be done on purpose, the resultant modifications/destructions documented and presented in a gallery.
In the case of the thing in the woods, I might have got away with the PW words – Persuasive Writing … we’ll see come the weekend!
I’ve just made my annual AXIS application. Although other bloggers have assured me that membership of AXIS is not something to get worked up about, I continue with my neurotic attachment to this doomed goal.
This is actually proving to be very productive, as having it at the back of my mind keeps me focussed on documentation … which is by far the biggest weakness of my practice. I’ve lost count of the things I’ve made or done of which there is no trace except a few memories of people long-since moved far away … so, referring back to Susan’s blog – did they happen, or were they made, at all?
Anyway, the point is, I have finally got round to posting the Aquaphonics video on the internet, two years late.
