The lamp





I was interested in the lamp as it looked like an alien. There was also a cool shadow, but these photos do not show the shadow.

the wall



This is a wall.

Studying the Studio




I felt a need to photograph and really get to know the space.
I like the light.

Measuring things on how close they are to the edge incase they might fall off

decided to start measuring things because i found a cool tape measure in the space.

Decided to focus on measuring how close things were to the edge, in case they fell off.

Firstly, I had to find objects that were movable
Secondly, I then had to find and edge for them to fall off.

laptop to edge of bench 6.9cm
blue mechanical pencil to edge of bench 6.9cms
cup (containing green tea) to edge of bench 23cms
upside down stool to edge of sofa 13 cms
Lisa's box to edge of sofa 12cms
Pia's bag with amazing but unnecessary padlock from Nepal to the hole 83 cms

residency continued

Ok, so I have now reverted to turning things upside down. Things now look much better.

Lisa's box is fascinating. Partly because its contents due to the avant-garde expat interior design refurbishment are now inaccessible. It now has the pillow tower carefully balanced in a Yin and Yang Feng Shui compliant manner. Everything will shortly be sanitised of any unmoral tendencies but any opulence with doubtful moral standing will be overlooked.

Anyone for cricket?

rediency thoughts continued

At home I had been continuing my diagrams and this systemisation of space was and is something that is still fascinating me. But also a world without people, void of them. But, also destroyed by them. That statement feels right but I can't make sense of it. How can a diagram a greyness be void of people but also contain within it their destruction or a destruction of something by people.

ok back to making

Residency at the Studio

ok, so first day was yesterday. I arrived feeling very uncreative. In the space were two female individuals who's attention was placed inside another spacial dimension, one the computer screen (the back lit world, someone else said this first), two, the internet within that screen, and three, the sound scape produced by putting headphones on. I was stuck in the actual space of the room, as my ipod had run out of battery.
Then searching inside my bag, my personal private only particially visible space found the things that I had previously remembered placing in there and some new ones which I had forgotten were there. Out of their hidding place I took out some paper and various drawing impliments. Then started to investigate the space. I had thought previously of thinking of the space as an science project tracking who and what is in it, or what could be here as the furniture in the room is at odds with its actual usage. This sort undercover investigation science project is the mind set that I entered the space with. I wanted to hide things in the space. Conceal things.
