Austmarka | 1 degree | wet + dull
plan was
to go
back to town
to walk along
the river glomma
buy something
nice to eat
revisit
the old town
alarm went off
still dark
expected that
+ tipping
down with rain
checked BBC weather
the rain’s
here to stay
get back
into bed
have discoverd that
with a fan oven
you can
can make your toast
and dry your hair
simulataneously
if standing close enough
house is
v quiet
Norwegian artist
left early
won’t be back
til Mon
no public transport
at w/ends
the other two
sleep on and off
all day
alone in the studio
plan and plot
and test things out
using newly aquired
editing skills
for most
of the day
pleased that
some of the
complex skills
have stuck
sadly
it all looks
quite boring
just trees
and more trees
and bits of river
and ice
at a loss
search around
for inspiration
on vimeo
you tube
a story
some lyrics
artists’ sites
music videos
anything will do
to shake it
out
three weeks
and there should
be something
to see
apart from
this stupid blog
perhaps it
needs gestation
a period of
filtration
it can take
more than a year
to find the thing
that kicks it off
not sitting around
tho’
for inspiration
to arrive
or any of that
kind of crap
have to
hunt it down
or wait it out
or do something else
don’t leave
the house all day
it rains
continuously
it could be Wales
daily diet of news
and stuff
appears on facebook
an odd
and chilling mix –
bombing in Syria
shoot-outs in
California
…hey let everyone
have a gun – in school,
in hospital …
it’s safer that way…
dogs playing the piano
anti-war protests
shrinking public education
cutting the Cass
exclusive and not exclusive
art events in trendy places
endless exhibitions, lectures and seminars
banks paying less tax
a dog reunited with his owner
best films in 2015
how do you know if someone
wants to have sex ?
Art Basle
albino squirrels
Pistorious, Goddard
Dali Lamma, Miro
Bjork, Peter and the Wolf
artists + climate change
Paris …..
it’s enough to
send you crazy
no wonder it’s
hard to concentrate
what’s hard to
manage tho’
is the absence
of an end
a show, exhibition, screening
it’s hard
to aim at
nothing
need a place, a space
a date, a deadline
see the work
in terms of
where and how
a process that
unravels to
the end
