joining the dots project (in progress)

project on perspective. interpretation. games play etc...runs well with everything else i play with. I am thinking of making this one into an artists book...I will write more later. I have to run to hockey...operating on absolutely no sleep, I had yet another all nighter at the easel. i will put up some more images of what i am working on this afternoon











So now I have managed to not fulfil yet another intention...thinking I am master over my own body clock with my trusty tools of coffee and wine to combat the effects of time and nature (and failing me misererably)I will do the unlawful and articulate the intentions behind the visual with the visually written word, anyone knows the aural is far too abstract with all its tones and accents to be taken seriously. seriously= logic rational justification = very non-artistic= i respect music more than ever.

if i was confident enough with my work i wouldn't feel compelled to write anything or have a blog.

so...now successfully undermining everything it is hard to believe I am actually embracing the nature of play and interpretation. easy going and confident. not self aware so much.
play for its creative and somewhat non-contrived nature, and superimposing that idea upon the kaleidescopic effect of interpretation. kaleidescope is the wrong word, except i love its fractured quality and shaking a set of variables and fly eyes result (taking into account the multi-layered experience of any given event if you add memory and reflection and distortion into it.)

but i meant to say the way you can take any situation and ask 12 people and find twelve ofetn vastly different perspectives. So i have taken a photo of two people in karate mode and then made a join the dots game out of it, and taking the same dots and rearranging the numbers have discovered without moving a single dot, the karate men have metamorphosed into dancers, and a skull, (so far) and obviously with my reliable intention and untrusty tools the same dots will transform into a variety of other visual expressions. which i will then join into a continous circular concertina style artist book.
defying all half hearted intentions to sell the work so i can somehow sustain a life of pleasure and travel to the snow.

latest deductive conundrum: my life philosophy:
Happy artist= good work
Happy artist -> travel/trips to the snow
happy artist -> producing work freely
producing work freely = no money incentive/motivation(integrity)
integrity/art process = time = no job
no job + no money = :( no travel trips to the snow
no travel trips to the snow= unhappy artist
unhappy artist= bad work
or
job + money + lack of time/integrity=bad work

OR alchemy is the solution. that non sencical thing that happens when making art occasionally (so says Margaret Throsby) ignore logic because if you followed logic to start with then you probably wouldnt even produce art because what is it's point anyway?
