A bit of quick news about the project and my practice; first of all, I feel that I have been, in the past month , working harder than ever on getting out there. I have attended one to one surgeries and conferences to view other people’s work as much as to test my own. This has been precious and I have just redone my cv, my statement, and have put all of this work into little files with names on top.This was crucial to gaining an undertsanding of the work and finding ways of puting it out. I am also in the process of stretching the work into public art domain .This sounds promessing.
I am still busing with ideas to continue this work .In the meantime, I am organising the open day 17th of october .
Thanks Anthony for your comments; I think you saw through the work very well as the line has now taken a life of its own and the work has become a lot more playful and free.
I saw your project is also taking a new direction! I am looking forward to view what comes out of it!
I haven’t been on the blog for over two months; not just because it was summer and I was desperatly waiting for the sun to come out and get a bit of Holiday feel but mostly because , as the sun did not come, I kept working inside the studio. All the work I have developed indoors seems to be very intimate and profound ) so I have been reflecting on the work in depth and decided not to loose myself in writing for a bit.
However, In my last post I was mentioning the possibilties of returning to painting and I have done so.
I guess I needed to reconnect with the material and simply explored the moment of creation; keeping in line with the red line theme, I attempted to grasp the very instant when , despite of all fear, reflexion, consideration on judgement and wish to keep control of everything, you suddenly cease to think in order to create. This is the time when you jump off a plane or off a rock into cold sea, the time you are born or the time you give birth, the moment you enter the space of the blank canvas to make your mark.
The time when the red line snaps and becomes loose, and all tensions cease and in this time, only the space you give yourself is the Limit.
I have also had a lot of not so profound moment of inspiration and created a series of spontanious events which I am presenting with all of the work on Limits in an open studio day, 17th of Otcober, 10 to 5.(see it advertised as artist event in this website)
