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.

to find out Tim Silver already makes my dream art project (...maybe)







Tim Silver / Artist biography
Tim Silver completed a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the University of Sydney and a Master of Fine Arts by Research from the University of New South Wales (2002). Silver works with a variety of impermanent media including melted-down Crayola crayons. His work is concerned with the theory that all forms and systems are in a constant state of decay or change. This idea permeates both his objects and installations, themselves captured in this process of decomposition through free-falling photo-narratives.


Post note:
"oh dear"/ "this is wonderful!" what to think.......

Damn. I just got a hot tip that another artist has already created my dream project. Maybe not damn> this is a great thing, the idea is valid, and because he's doing well with it then I'm on the right track with communication. But I still really want to melt crayons and I still have temporality as the dna of any art that I want to make. bugger. In true Integrity style I suppose the idea unexpressed is as temporal as it can get!
so what to do next:
Oh so many things, just find a new way, embrace the art dialogue process not greedilly try to own it :)and finish an exhibition with more commercial intentions due in a few weeks.
