THOUGHTS ON SWIMMING
Alec’s nearly finished making 2 huge canvases for me. Bought an ipad – technology dominates my life with it’s complexity and promise of such magic at the same time.
Realised talking to Marcella the reason why I love swimming.
The resistence of the water slows me down ; slows down my thinking; repetative action through the water soothes me into a zen state and leads to eureka moments in my head . Water really is an essential for me.
Helps me to realise that I must concentrate on what can be controlled; my dissertation notes and studio practice.
Have a nagging thought connected with my dissertation of ‘the closing door’ (Kenneth Clarkes quote) of time running out. Must find time to edit the video clips I’ve been accumulating.
