It's going exceptionally well! Which is very exciting. See [!].
I have lost, however, the video component to the project.
The conversation I am having with the sculpture is taking up all of my time, and it doesn't feel all that close to being done.
Rather than open up a much more complicated and confusing dialogue (adding the questions of time, image, layering, and meta layering that video provides in it's affordances), I am going to focus on the very tangible conversation I am having between myself, the materials, and the forces of nature acting on all of us.
In working, I've entered a flow state for longer than I have experienced before, giving the work a sort of inevitability the feels right right right. It's also very clear to me when this is not happening, and I have to constantly remind myself that it need not be frustrating when I am not sure what to do next.
When I listen to the different forces, the Thing To Do almost always shows itself. I can see it when I get my monkey mind out the way.
I am currently thinking about how and where to display the piece in addition to visioneARTh, which is additionally exciting.
