Its the break before the beginning of Phase Two. I’ve been struck down with inertia. I miss my sketchbooks, they are in the hands of the university for assessment as is all the research since October.
Today I dragged myself to the studio. I tidied up and moved things around and then I began the process of making paper from the boluses. There are 32. I have photographed each one in its jar of water. It is becoming a book in some way. It is a collection.
I am watching the TV series All Watched Over by Machines of love and Grace. I wrote on my book I AM ART MACHINE in November 2010. I expect that the possibility of mechanical actions will inform phase two.
I should look at presentation but this will be a less important strand for me at this stage. I want to contine to focus on process of making. Documentation should rise in priority. Photographic images will appear as objects rather than theories. It will be a period of making.
