Sand Paper Doll Houses
Woke up this morning, over the course of a couple hours, to the intense foot-biting of our new kitten. Got out of bed, threw on some coffee, threw on "Angel Food" by Ani (If the mattress was a table top, and the bedsheet was a page, we'd be written out like a couple of question marks, my convex to your concave, and we'd be lying here at the end of a sentence that asks, are you ready know?) and hopped on the computer to browse art and talk smarty-pants bullshit with some old friends from Omaha/Lincoln. Reran across David Ho, whose work i had just seen in a digital art book. What an intense imagination this man has. His dreams would pull a lot more at the box office than mine would.
The last couple days has been filled with building these "canvases" that aren't really canvases at all. They're masonite board with hidden screw-mounts conneted to 1 1/2" wodden frames, wood puttied together in a seamless fasion. Lots of sanding, painting, sanding, making the seam disappear. They're really starting to look like objects instead of just a board that will be painted. I'd pat myself on the back over how slick they look but my hand is crampy from grasping blocks coated with sand paper.
The work I'm gonna do on them will surprise you. very different from anything you've seen out of my head yet. A compilation of ideas, literally, mostly about the similarities between computer/virtual reality and the way our brains symbolize all these wierd mathematical processes around us into traditional "reality". It's the first capital "A" art i've made since school, and that's been several (SEVERAL) years, so it's refreshing to start out with the surface crafted meticulously. If you've ever stared at a blank sheet of paper or a blank computer screen and buckled under the pressure of all the possibilities, imagine what it would be like if that same blank surface took three days of relentless concentration to make.
Back to the coffee,
