warm and sunny
a dragging kind of day
sitting around thinking
rising tension
is arranging stuff
enough?
appropriating discarded
bric-a-brac
is nothing new
Martin Creed comes to mind
chairs piled up
cacti arranged in height order
different sized balls
harking back to
Picasso, Braque
with their bits of
chair cane
newspaper
braid
Joseph Cornel etc
not to mention
monsieur Duchamp
who maybe, appropriated
the readymade
Fountain
from Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven
but that’s another story…
arranging and photographing all this stuff
is it necessary, relevant
swing between a logical progression
and more random gestures
it’s confusing
and what about this
curtain on a frame idea?
part canvas, part luminous form
part allusion to drapery
breaking up the space
with a rhombus
of colour
raspberry-ish
echoing the drapes
in my room
playing with shapes
materials
bouncing off each other
turning them around
in the space
start to put together
présentation
for saturday
so far
it’s rather dry…
