My independent study.
Presentations and discussions.
- My work for independent study so far is concerned with the contemplative nature of time.
- Birth, life and death, three stages of existance and non existance.
- Passage.
- How much time we spend living vs non living
- Routine
- The day to day
- Taking time for granted
- Everything is rushed and timed, scheduled, one thing to another.
- Dates
- I have been taking notes and recording daily activities that form the monotonous norm.
- "the things" we spend a lot of time doing without thought
- Brushing teeth, sitting in front of a tv, cleaning, worrying, writing lists, eating, going to school, getting a job, getting a mortgage, money, death.
- I am interested in the spaces between, the still moments of contemplation. or the after effects of seeing these things highlighted
- The pause
- We all have moments of thought, can we establish clarity, thoughtfulness, engagement with the world
- My work is to highlight exaggerate, elongate, extend, stretch. Give physical form to that feeling.
- This concern and interest comes from my fear of death and anxiety surrounding the routine and things we have t get done before being able to live. everything is a rush.
- Meditative, the zen in chaos.
- Looking at Bill Viola, and Kiefer mostly.
- Can objects help
