Earthly and Celestial Delights...Disquietened ramblings of someone lost

Before.
I have just this minute added a 'gadget' which i have already forgotten the title of, but i think the purpose, as i understand it is to add text that will remain current and not go furthere and further into the annuls of a distantly close archive that is no longer visable and therefore quite lost and forgotten.
My main deadline is now Subversive Figures scheduled to be 'hung' at the end of April, other deadlines are also looming, closer in fact but more under control in terms of depth of study and type of show.
I came back to this a while ago and wrote a whole load of text about a whole load of disparate thoughts to do with my planned exhibit, then wiped it by mistake, took this to be a sign to steer clear for a while but am now in the final two days of gathering myself up ready for the final onslaught, what i am really doing is putting off titling the fourteen photographic works in 'dry bond to core panel + window mounted in gold + frames in gold sweep style + back + flexi-assembly, each measuring 16" x 12". I have selected 10 to hang, 5 landscape, 5 portrait format but realise that i am not precise by nature and am dreading the actual act of spirit levelling, screwing et cetera, et cetera.
To be continued...

After.
That last entry seems so long ago, not sure when it was in terms of linear time. It could be said that my life has taken a turn for the worst, which of course it has. There is no going back from this point, only forward, just not sure how to put one foot in front of the other just yet. It is 3.19am, cannot sleep, living in this virtual world that gets me through the night, I sit and wonder - what next? Fifty one days have passed now and the full horror of it all is beginning to take hold. The general feeling is that i should get back into the studio, carry on doing what i do...Maybe tomorrow, maybe not?

24.02.11. Been a long time gone it seems, everything has been sadly neglected, I suppose I need to update and tidy up my numerous avenues of communication...Maybe tomorrow, Maybe not?

Rationale

My practice specifically relates to the exploration of instinctual form in relation to unorthodox surface methodology. My intention is to be as spontaneous as possible, a hard task given the volatile nature of clay, heat and chemicals. I prefer my work to serve a purpose, even if that purpose is not based on a functionality that is obvious in the traditional sense. I like to think that my work is about something ‘other’ than itself, awkward balance and pictorial narrative always present, always linked, the tangible object on the shelf or canvas on the wall representing the sometimes intangible whole.
Nowadays, as always, I find that to be true to myself is paramount in my quest to find my own ‘perfect’ aesthetic, whilst questioning the notion of the mainstream view of ‘imperfect’, my motive remaining constant regardless of material, method and outcome.
