TASK. November 29th 03

TASK (responsibility)

The beauty of each day is the knowledge that it is blank sheet, open opportunity, realisation of beginning with a sense of wonder, expectation and joy the moment of waking is greeted as old friend.

The sense of familiarity, and comfort overlaid with possibility fuels my heart and mind as with the love of trusted companion. Each day stretches ahead, not as ordeal to get through, barrier to overcome or prison sentences to serve, though others might wish or see it so. No, it stretches ahead as gift to be savoured and unwrapped with care and attention. My clumsy fingers may rip the wrapping, be over eager to see what is held within but if my intent is to reveal the present in the present; the presence of this truth will lift each day into this category and my daily life will be touchstone not task.

Weekly contemplation

  • Tolerence(3)
    Weekly consideration of the daily 'thought' words, brought to life in shape and colour as expression of these words and the word of the month. I did not begin the weekly images until March of 2006 till then consideration of the daily word in notes put in a small pad plus postcard size doodles of day were the elements but during February I began to consider the shapes and colours I see when each daily word is presented to me and decided this was an expansion of this practice that needed to be approached practically. As it stands at the moment each Sunday I aim to put the shapes and colours together in a whole. This will mean a 52 page 'book' for the year , there are other strands to this I feel but am not clear as yet what but I certainly see the book being similar to the wallpaper sample books with a handle to carry it and bolts through the 'spine' to hold it all together. I loved those books when I was a child all that colour and texture I suppose. Like my childhood wallpaper books by unscrewing the the hinge/spine, pages will be able to travel from book to wall though unlike the selotape or blutac that was used to attach the patterns to my walls these pages will get at the least black mounts and could be framed glazed and hung as art.... but then I thought the pages of the wallpaper books were art and in truth one of my favourite places to go to this day is the V&A Museum in London and spend hours drooling over the samples of fabulous hand printed papers for walls which sometimes happened to be fabric too.

Today for today

  • Img_2407
    This began with an invite to submit 16 Artist Trading Cards on the theme TODAY. I went off on a tangent and didn't produce 16 ATC's but 18 concertina 'books' appeared.

Landscapes of my life

  • Landscape of Vertigo
    The works I am creating for this project are snapshots on a journey that never finds arrival destination just many stopping and shuddering to a halt viewing points but as a group may just open a small window on living this life. This is an ongoing piece of work with no deadline but I aim to have the first body of work in some sort of order by New Year - my new year which begins November 2006
