Jul. 4th, 2003 10:31 amAbsolutely breathtaking!!!!: THIS is what I would have super-sized on my wall. *sigh* *double-sigh* gorgeousness....
Working in the studio yesterday...hammered on a nail-weave that has been neglected for quite a while...I so MISS the hammering. SO therapeutic. Again my thoughts are running to doing a whole wall this way. I stare at the doorways and openings and details of the walls around me...and imagine how panels could be fitted together and bolted in....and white white code language city-scape weave running all over without boundaries....aaaaaaahhhhhh.I HAVE to throw together some sort of a digital image 'proposal' for this...taking a segment of one of my salience weaves and 'stamping' it to cover a wall shape..maybe minimizing it gradually if I show a perspective angle...
Then maybe by presenting the idea around and including it in portfolios and presentations I could one day get a commission to actually do it somewhere. *sigh* But it WOULD take forever to execute...so I'd have to have some sort of funding to survive while making it for the months or years (depending on the wall size). Argh, money. Have to make peace with the need. And find a way to save towards things other than rent and materials. Those impossible sounding things like buying a house and having a child one day.
A friend of mine came over for 'art therapy' two days ago and we drank some cheap champagne and worked together in the basement studio, listening to Bjork and Heather Nova.:) She quietly doing a collage, me painting a topographical segment for a layered sculpture experiment I am planning. She also joined my gym so now I someone to help drag me there more often and vice-versa.
This could work.
Reading 'Hyperspace' by Michio Kaku and enjoying it muchly. Recently finished 'An Open Heart' talks by the Dalai Lama. So simple and difficult and beautiful. Helps inspire me to keep up the morning meditations....
