The all-over experience of the EMG show has already had a profound effect on me. It carries a feeling of end-beginning, a renewal of all research and process be it material or mental. Seeing the accumulated work of the last couple of year’s efforts, trials and errors and experiencing the reaction of others to all the different projects, ideas and pieces definitely charged me to engage with new ideas and to approach my current ones with a differing outlook.
The experience made me realize how I continually reused and re-calibrated certain elements and pieces from my repertoire. This made sense at the time and thought me new ways about display and interaction. I do feel now that a period must end and I have to take the work forward with the introduction of completely new work.
I will use the invigilating time to let these thoughts buzz around in my mind and find routes on which they settle, and after I will look for the right outlet.
