2011-07-16T09:24:00.000+10:00

I am smiling curiously as my preferred interactive drawing site (the site where I had drawn the majority of my project lab work) on festival and installation day is thoroughly water damaged from rain the previous 24 hrs.I can't fix paper to the site, the sweet irony. Its sad but the feeling based braille like drawings and intuition in my project is confirmed.

The studio ceiling has a perfect grid of wooden beams perfect for installation. I started pinning vertical blinds up - inititally as a room divider left right. Then I started forming compartments. The blinds cast great shadows. As I installed more of the blinds I was really surprised how the space changed I left various sized gaps between each blind and still they blocked out alot of vision.

2010-10-18T08:30:00.001+11:00

to wander: is to move slowly away from a fixed point or place.2010 a massive year of flux! the influx: an arrival of large numbers of people or things, bound for new beginnings. breakups galore and huge shifts in direction. masses of massive decisions: a conclusion or resolution reached after consideration. From a fixed point of consideration I had moved slowly whilst chips on the backgammon

Oh wow I must go to a dead letters offices? Do they still exist? This article states there were 3 remaining US Dead Letters Offices in July 2000. A place of mass hoarded miscommunication - all my themes are coming together. I am also into the people who work as parcel investigators (my own label for now not sure of real title) who open RTS mail to hopefully find clues or the address on slips of

It goes up! Then gets pulled down! more envelope vandalism

2010-07-16T11:59:00.004+10:00

Huh well just got news that the bottom section of my envelope outline had been pulled off. After today's reinstallation and chitter chatter I find out the people sent to paint the wall. What's with the waste of paint, I know the graffit "DOOM!" isn't great but I thought the edges of loose chicken wire might be a more helpful thing to mend.The penny drops.Bad communication.Free wheeling attitudes;

Vandalism and rain cleansing the project*

2010-07-15T02:26:00.001+10:00

Well well well, finally some vandalism! Yes it's highly likely to get your art vandalised when installing an ongoing public art sculpture when it's at street level with no guard dogs no eyes watching after the creative types and underbelly team go home. So the arty cluster of used envelopes on no.38 and no.40 were cleansed last night firstly by the rain which had been falling consistently for

letters seeping from the house

2010-07-13T04:53:00.000+10:00
