Ramblings on art.

I think artistic is an aversion to doing nothing, like ok, yeah I could be out getting a 'real' job, but today I might push some paint around on a canvas or grab a powertool and make a heap of noise and dust in the vain attempt to get myself off. Because that's what it is art, a device for self, to add worth to being, to make something that will last and maybe even treasured. Some of my works are like children, I make them to exist. I use to dream of one day the planet ending and exploding and seeing some of my ugly works drifting in space, without humanity. Just a mark that I was.

Ok, I had a glass of wine with some other sculptors tonight so my head's enlightened.
One of my friends, she has just got back from sculpting in Greece and it was interesting how different sculpting symposiums are there from here.

Apart from that, I have been doing more stone cutting today. I am making stone addz's and pod forms, some of which, are like erotic, as I like to freak out the consertives out there. I was rough cutting the form on a 14" diamond drop saw. It's like slow and pretty noise but it was interesting.

My work process is strange as some of my formed work is very slow. I have a series of Venus's that are coming along very slowly, but the pendants are quick. I think that's because they are a defined work, I know it's a pendant and it has a design that fits pendant. But a Venus or pod, is different as it becomes a work with meaning by it having a strange shape and form.

Ok, but so still no scans of my work.
