Looking at he great Swayterian transgression
Portsmouth July 18th
Welcome:
I have spent the last 3 years logging my every move and my engagement as an artist within the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad – The project was awarded Cultural Olympiad branding and I had unique access in the South East of England to artists projects and performers
I have mapped all of my personal life, ups and downs decent into illness and the death of my mother alongside endless travel and engagement with London 2012 projects.
The final artifact will be an official geological map complete with personal 2012 stratigraphy and complex evolutionary timelines – later an Ibook complete with these crossections and study of fossils (at least 5000 collected items – almost a hoarder)
This is the blog for reviewing all the 1000 day logs as we investigate for the first time and then drawing the map from all the fragments that have been incidentally collected.
When I was 11 I had a picture torn up in front of the class – I hid any talent I had for art behind my other love and skill – Geology – I trained not as the artist I always wanted to be but as a Paleontologist – When I left University I started drawing again – leaving behind the opportunity of a PhD – now as an artist I have the opportunity to turn this project into that geology PhD – irony.
This is the journey of making that map.
PS. spell check is not working! and as a dyslexic I may not notice.
