Ladies and Gentleman We Are Floating in Space

There is nothing like floatying in a warm swimming pool that is quiet and empty other than yourself. swimming underwater to the simple echos of water friction and a deep vibrato from a pump somewhere.Suspended in a hydro pool with only the souind of jets. eyes closed on a stem bath with slow deep breaths. Today i moved past my physical existence. without paying attention to water displacement i was only floating like your brain floats expeirencing the electro-chemical impulses stimulating my brain. the slow pings and pangs of morphine...a high in itself without the itchies. gums numb in an ice cream freeze. frontal lobe switched off. perception lost in the ignored displacement. Doers our everyday experiences get affected by our influence? i mean to say that are we affecting a physical environment with our prescence othert than that of the excahnge of oxygen and carbon dioxede? do we trnsmute energies that affect others and other things around us? do we carry these traces with us and leave these type of traces at the sametime? like the ghostly vapors of heat off the road? are we leaving trails in our wake? how can this be illustrated in an installation? time lapse photography/ a slow shutter speed can illustrate this, but how else can this be communicated?

graduated

how i change....changes how the things i see are....and thus changes how i understand our relationship to be. this is also true of space.to the observer. With it being in relation to myself i judge the space......,but usually without understanding the judgements being made i forget that i can change the space. The active roll i took in the installation 'like for like' changed my physical relationship and the mental picture understanding constantly. i was unable get teh whole picture until i was finished adn a week after that. And at the end of it all i looked back at the empty sculpture court and i stilll wanted to see the work. like staring at a red square for long enough. then look away and you see the residual green square. the same aspect has happened with each of my installaltions with the cardboard....not so much with the installation. more info coming down the pipe gotta simmer on it.
