i’ve entered a controlled panic. always have liked walking into aroom and making a big statement.
it’s the last few days of preparation prior to installing the work in the space. in controlled panic there is enjoyment in the process, as drummond said ” the art is in the making”.
what does drummond know though? he knows his own thing, he does his own thing, does his thing test what my thing is? if his thing is to do things to things with monartary value in a personal exploration of how that feels, then jolly good show i say. does it test me? not really.
i’ve got what research is this week. i’ve been making the vantage points for the piece. i rapidly went through the right i’ll do this, to oh that falls apart really easily, to i know if i do this it’ll make it stronger, to right i do this, this, this, drink tea, then this this and finally that. i’ve always researched with new media endeavours, not realising that the process i was going through was indeed research. with a physical object, the research has a much more tenable nature. my exploration of sculptural new media continues….
