As so often happens, making stuff has got me off the hook.
Whenever I’ve felt I’m drifting, that things aren’t really coming together, I’ve just kept on making stuff. When you make, happy accidents can happen, you have a body of stuff that, if all else fails, you can show. Stop making and that doesn’t happen.
For me making stuff seems to use one part of my brain but leave the creative bit to roam free to have ideas. Make stuff and have a notebook and pen handy.
Anyway, what I made is this video set which was intended just to be used to shoot some interior video sequences but has ended up being an interesting object in its own right. Equipped with peepholes and strategically placed lighting and iconic objects it will become one layer of the degree show installation.
