in relation. (thoughts outloud)

how do we see objects? in relation to ourselves and in relation to other objects within space. that space is, however, a result of place and time. time being a measurement of our own accordance. place is affected by where we have been before. 'cuts in space' is then under the term of our own devices. as a painter when composing a painting, the compostition is understood by how one defines the space with the objects in the picture plane in relation to each other(the objects). the mystery and the myth come from the lack of understanding in the difference between the viewer and the painter's point of view. how about the painter's point of view the following day as they return to the scene of the crime. there is the old stable question 'when is a painting done?'. i have always thought is was when it was out of reach of the painter's brush. Any deciding point for stopping could be argued that this point of rest is a finished point. developed to a certain recognition and approval. in relation to understanding. an understanding to the intent of the artist. whose gamble is it? whose deal is it?

The installation for the degree show is under way. We went out to skateraw archive to gather my corrugated card used in the piece 'free space', which had been previously used in the 'like 4 like' work. it took longer to get there than it did for the three of us to box all the tiles. we returned to the main building finally to drop the boxes in place. I did some quick sketches and have added to my original plans for the new installation angles and study of place...'cuts in space'. This avenue should provide an arena more confrontational witht eh viewer, however it will continue to produce an effect of exchange. stay tuned for the developements of the degree show piece.
