Tues 22 June. Tea x 2 mugs at one of the outdoor cafes in Basildon market. People at two nearby tables get to know each other while their dogs warn each other. We discuss recent experiences of being in the art world and the continuous process of finding out/ re-establishing approaches; “keep doing to find out”. I talk about exploring processes to develop work. Gordon takes a step back to consider motivations and philosophy.
We film passers by from the cafe table with a laptop’s inbuilt camera. Can’t see the screen properly because of strong sunlight, but the results are OK for editing. Some discussion about Google Sketchup for describing spaces. Then we walk out to the first houses built in Basildon: generous gardens and living spaces. Later in Eastgate shopping mall I spot a shop mannequin with light red eyes.
