Making OUT

the fuck off big laser profile cutter

James Bond springs to mind

Bright and reflective raw mild steel - doesn’t really say OUT in an outside or exterior sense so am going to rust it to connote left out in the rain. Driiledthe holes in 3D and will get this home to de-grease and slap on the salt and vinegar.

One week to go be project space begins

re-evaluate point

As a conceptual practitioner, I offer an invitation to decipher and navigate my work both intellectually and emotionally.

Both informative and entertaining, I present curated environments, spacial, immersive situations and sensorial experiences, offering a considered, active relationship between artist and audience - interpretation being subjective this can therefore be described as personalised or intimate. . A ‘total’ or holistic work of art.

Although often based upon an aesthetic agenda, these installations are about perception, more than looking, they  are designed as multi sensory, integrating other senses and sensations,targeting both emotional and cognitive engagement. A layered, experiential and unique encounter.

The alternative perspectives presented offer emotional and cognitive interactions. In much the same way as the human brain works, I aspire for my work to initially offer a raw, immediate emotional response and to then to engage cognition.  A visitor/audience member/beholder is understood as integral, not just spectating but, more importantly, co-creating - not in a physically making sense, but a cognitive realisation and completion of the elements set before them.

d o u b l e  b i n d -7th Jan 2019

this has to be the weirdest stage I’ve ever been through. Not only have I been making art that I think is good yet others don’t, but now I’m making art that I don’t like either

Reflective stuff

there are peaks and troughs, highs and lows, but this is the deepest and longest down I’ve ever experienced since starting to make art

I honestly don’t feel I have the resilience to do this

I need some time out but the strictures of the course timetable do not allow me any more time than I’ve already had

If, and it’s a big if, I am to continue I need to press on . . .  but can I?
