I feel empowered … energised … enthused …engaged. My experiences at Juxtapose have confirmed what is important to me and whetted my appetite for paying closer attention to leading life in ways that are meaningful to me. The question … challenge … task … is how make this a, achievable and b, sustainable. How to negotiate – because it is about doing this in dialogue with multiple others – the terrain(s)? How to operate through and across the various planes that together are one’s life … this is exactly what needs to be explored over the coming year – less than a year now, I have already had one month of my year’s sabbatical.
I want to be a part of the artist-run – that is perhaps the core … heart … of things, there are then all the things that happen … need to happen … around this. Those other things range from the mundane – an income, to the extraordinary – my practice.
I find myself returning to and reflecting on the idea of orbiting.
