Degree Show.
9th of June, that’s the date of the opening of the Cardiff School of Art Degree Show, this makes it feel very real and not too far away. Exciting. The wood for the stretchers ill be using in the show arrived today, enough to create a series of paintings, from which to choose from. Its all becoming very clear, constant inflection has made everything clarified. I’ll be making more projection platforms, because what they do for me is what propositional sentences (the literary equivalent) cannot, they have this intrinsic ability to have total periphery to everyone except the artist, I’m really enjoying the fact that I am making paintings for myself, as a means of investigation, and at this stage I think that’s what the best route of my practice should be, to understand something, or try and understand something that I find enthralling. I happen to think that the relationship between painting and poetry, or more open, the relationship between image and language is brilliant, its been said that they are both forms of mimesis, but that’s been dismissed throughout the years, its been mentioned somewhere that they are both spiritual connections, but, they’re so much bigger than that. They’re one of the joys of the human condition, and I plan on reveling in that for as long as physically possible. That’s my conviction, anyway.
