IT’S NOT BEEN A GOOD WEEK FOR ART
It’s not been a good week for art in my house. Other commitments, the need to find more paid work, and a couple of days spent on Blue Monkey Network business, mean that yesterday, Sunday, was the first day in the studio since last weekend. This is very bad and far removed from my resolution to maintain some continuity and spend at least five half days each week in the studio. Another week is about to begin and there’s no reason why this one shouldn’t be better, but already I’ve lost the feeling of continuity which I was building.
My reading and research has been neglected, but in some ways perhaps a pause is not all bad. I’m thinking that maybe it’s time to move on from Schrodinger and Prof Cox and the Enlightenment and think about contemporary science for a bit. Perhaps time to see what sort of reaction will occur if I begin to mix up old and new; what sort of concoction will result from combining some of the information which I’ve been absorbing during the last few weeks with some new ideas from biomedical science and, perhaps some fables from the traditions of mystery, myth and mysticism which historically underpinned theories about the creation of the world and the making of new life through reproduction and birth. Add to this mix a few “what if” questions, and maybe things will start to get interesting.
I didn’t have an image today. So I made one. But it is void.
