STRUGGLING WITH... HOW FAR FLUNG? ...struggling with the details of the (yet un-named) piece. The piece that was never started but most obsessed over... four years. While walking back from the point, the site of MISSION ONE part one, I imagined it afloat. I was imagining it in operation (getting quite the chuckle from that) as it flung folks here and there... I figured, if I were to start flinging folks, it may be best to have it out on a lake so that those flung folks would land in the water... Now then, can a human being survive being flung, catapulted from atop a near 100' pole into even water? This needs researching... • Oh, and we found some other things while out and about today as well • APR 27 From time to... ...time we seem to stumble across things can be used immediately. Reference for the nut and bolt assembly that attaches the erect to the supine; thoughts on these chairs and what they might mean (if you recall, each and every element will have meaning, if not more)... And then even more old and far too obvious artworks from the ancient art career... this one actually built then destroyed almost immediately. I believe I re-used the crane-like feature as the leg for a wall mounted kitchen table...

MISSION THREE [OUTCOMES] BEGINS (apparently not) IN EARNEST...APR 25... lets just say, MISSION THREE got off to an interesting start, with... punctuation... not sure what to say about this day really. Was last night another mission? If so, it was successful in spurring some thinking for the yet to be named 3rd element... AND it looks as though we can call it the ceremonial start to the MISSION... it looks like time will make it's play... TIME "is a gift, not a threat"...
APR 25 (EOD)... It was one of those sets of days that generated a story to be told another day. A big story? Oh, it will be told that way... A good story? Indeed it could be framed either way. Good in so much as although the arch was short, it's path, crisp, to the point... The better outcome, a flurry of sketchbook activity for this madness; work done on other job sites and... the possibility I might just sleep through this night. HOW MUCH MORE TIME, AND HOW MANY MORE TIMES? Which way and how far will I be flung... tomorrow?
AND THIS ASPECT? WILL IT PROVE MORE IMPORTANT?
THIS ASPECT WILL LIKELY PROVE MORE IMPORTANT
JUST MORE NOTES AND A LITTLE ASSEMBLAGEAPR 21... I noticed (obsessed?) last night that the (heart) house was based on 10' x 10'... is this something I should look into? How doggedly should I pursue the factor of the dogmatic 3? hmmm... I mean the whole thing could begin to seem more obvious than I'd like (although, perhaps it's an obvious ruse) :-) ...arrgh, but it will have 4 walls... then he thinks, but, it will have six surfaces... (something tells me the little house will be resized... APR 21... Obviously heart, mind and soul kinda stuck with me... (but that? That's just plain obvious) :-)
NO PLANS FOR CONDUCTING THE NEXT PART OF THE MATERIALS MISSION, BUT MORE NOTES AND MORE ASSEMBLAGE4/19/2015 NO PLANS FOR CONDUCTING THE NEXT PART OF THE MATERIALS MISSION, BUT MORE NOTES AND MORE ASSEMBLAGEAPR 21 Sunday saw me awake to more of the melancholy... BUT, the day ended well... very well! Rocks were tossed... things let go of... new things grabbed onto, to be held onto not so tightly? Not likely... not likely... as it would appear, I let go of nothing at all. (case in point) APR 21 As I half suspected... much of this is going to become about the rigging itself... (and? What's with this "skewered again" business?)
THE SECOND PART OF THE MATERIALS MISSION... UNFOLDS ACROSS A SMALL TRIANGULAR SECTION OF DOWNTOWN KINGSTON
THE SECOND TASK AT HAND [THE ASSEMBLAGE] BEGINS. A BIT OUT OF SEQUENCE... RIGHT ON SCHEDULE4/18/2015 THE SECOND TASK AT HAND [THE ASSEMBLAGE] BEGINS. A BIT OUT OF SEQUENCE... RIGHT ON SCHEDULE
APR 21 ...and then the dreaded notion of time creeps into the picture: "I learned to treat time as a gift, rather than a threat" - (me rethinks)
REFERENCE: current state of the assemblage • NOTES FLOW UPON THE COMPLETION OF... THE SECOND PART OF THE MATERIALS MISSION...
COMPLETING THE FIRST MISSION INVIGORATES THE PROCESS...APR 20: This whole thing grows legs (or is it wings) or better yet, ARMs after we completed first mission... Out for a coffee, the very next day... out comes the sketchbook... the structure of how these pieces will be built here, in this virtual big room with big white walls is laided out, AND... a more detailed (almost as detailed as the original drawn back in the 1980s) emerges... I miss drawing (and am quite out of practice)

REMAINS NOTESThe original sketches took place from April 2015 through August 2015... It really was just a flurry of activity as I excited myself with the notion of taking some old sculptures I'd started while at OCA and... rebuild them. I didn't have a clue how I might want this to all end up, it was really a cathartic exercise in the end... There's a lot of scrolling here, don't worry if you get bored along the way... I'm hoping this will all make a little more sense one day. In the meantime... ArchivesCategories |
