fill in the blanks







Think about space, escaping, hiding spaces, building a house on a moving object. thriving in departure zones like bus stations and airports. standing still in a dust storm or at the top of Martin Place. waiting watching. think about closing your eyes and imagine running so fast. you breathe fast, start gasping for air and you haven't moved a muscle. lying at the bottom of the pool and looking up through the water. diving. listening to your breath. closing your eyes.







then think about construction/fabrication/make up masks/costumes/houses.







games/ ladders/interiors/superfluous decoration and the definition of O.T.T . and imagine how much you can hide under that distraction, colourful beautiful creative mess.

in progress

 


well, to explain : without going into intentions (this only formulates properly before a show. because nothing works in isolation) This was meant to be a gift for my mother for Christmas 2008. because it wasn't really a 'happy' picture" although i object- it is happy i promise, I carried it back home and have finally atarted on it again. I want that reality escape/accentuation thing to happen. and although its quite lieteral and maybe a little bit boring, I can enjoy painting this and imagining I am disappearing again into air cool and wet and blue, with the smallest sensation of thousands of wings disturbing the earth from beneath my feet.
