what interests me are the following;
- field versus figure on a white surface - one is edges, one isn't - one is static the other is more dynamic
- line as thought versus a painterly fleshness
- a diagram as a agent of change in the future versus the drawing as a trace of an act, a record of the past.
- if I am creating works that are modernist, or clearly reference it what am I seeing? Is past, time an object a material in the artwork, i think so but what is it's nature. So it's not entirely formalist
- surface - playing with planes levels disrupting those levels
- I am making fixed time for art - slowly negotiating a deal with myself
- still not as productive as I want to be
- also timetableing in time for writing - so that is also cool - generally not being so hard on myself .e.g. allowing myself to write in nice cafe and eat food at the same time.
- finding that my state of mind and my state of body are far too interconnected, i become manic if i don't drink enough water or drink too much sugary stuff

from the above website
This Mondrian is diagramatic but is still field - but is inbetween the two, which is cool.
got thinking about something I've always wanted to make, and started to make, it is light and less thought about. So, i'm happy about it. It fits with what I am doing which is great.
