we had the meeting on monday. afterwards i felt that i had been over prepared and some how not prepared at all. i do have the dvd of what i presented for my archive.
i have a lot to consider from after the meeting. i’ve worked a lot on progressing the work, and interestingly i now feel i have a whole new set of issues to think and work through.
the consideration of the curatorial aspect of the project is challenging. i’m wondering if the work will develop slightly informed by the knowledge of it’s relationship to other work in the exhibition.
i’m really pleased to have had the meeting. next deadline to work to is words and images for catalogue stuff.
my plan this morning was to get up early and collect more sequence images. didn’t expect what i saw when looking out the window…
my favourite quote at the moment goes like this.
making the simple complicated is commonplace
making the complicated simple-awesomely simple-that’s creativity.

my intention with this future focus commission is to offer a space to consider possible futures.
i’m attempting to overcome an anticipatory anxiety by producing a presentation on dvd. can’t wait to see what the response is on monday.

i’ve overcome several days is angst ridden frozen ness ness, derived from the thought of the presentation next monday.
i’ve not experienced anything quite like it, well there was a time in a hall in erfurt or somewhere in germany on the first night of a european tour.
i’ve discovered there is such a thing as anticipation anxiety.
i’ve experienced a several day long bout of it.
optimistically i am over it and able to create for the presentation.

more working on the dvd structure today. it has a form now that will hold the content i want to explore.
i need to make a maquette for the container of the content.
i also have more filming and editting to do.
no formal meetings for this project until the 22nd, so it appears all safe and sound until then. there are of course other things happening, so staying focussed and driven until the 22nd is i feel a must. i write that and in my senario self can hear made up comments about what i’ve written.
i wonder if i carry a generational weight of expectation with me. i wonder if there is a possibility that there might be a way to express that within this piece of work.
it’s early february and my sun deficiancy is with me once again. tiredness and general fed up ness intersect with the bouts of happines and making.
