A drip of water falls and for a moment it is a planet of h20, caught in the pull of gravity, colliding into a larger mass, trapping air which bubbles to the surface. OR you could argue it is a bubble of water pulled to the surface which in collision separates the air from its larger mass, making an equally planetary object, however fleeting.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13548463035644489708noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4013734513685818571.post-10887928879021788502015-06-25T20:42:00.005-07:002015-06-25T20:42:47.243-07:00Anxiety of todayThere are some mornings - I am sure everybody has experienced this - where as soon as you wake up you feel like you have wasted your time.<br />
<br />
Its just a feeling.<br />
<br />
Only inside my brain. Its not a reaction to any event as yesterday I was completely happy with where I am strolling in life. But the anxiety bubbles away as I dream and reminds me that I could have chosen to not follow my ambition, I could have made a safe and secure life, I could live without being an artist.<br />
<br />
It's an anxiety I get whenever there is some momentous change building up in the future, whenever there is choice I find anxiety about the options. Choice itself is an interesting topic to research, how do people balance their options? what determines 'better / equal / or lesser'? <br />
<br />
Where does the anxiety come from - is it essentially a fear of running out of time? of death? would I be anxious if dying was something I avoided ruminating? Is it anxiety because of the time we live in where technology is the dominant shift in industry interest - and not our obvious climate shift?<br />
<br />
Todays anxiety could be explained by my personal long drought of paid work, my hormonal tidal wave that finally crashed period blood, the fact that I am about to dedicate 2 or more years of my life to self guided study in Masters by Research, or the fact that my latest work is a large rainbow ceramic tombstone for myself.<br />
<br />
These things would make any one person anxious, I can see this from a "normal" perspective. But to tell you the truth, in isolation and when I ignore the greater environmental context of the planet and our finite value alive- Life is good. I was elated yesterday when I found the tombstone beautifully completed in the firing, I was ecstatic when I discovered I was accepted in to study more, and it was relief to see that my hormones can be kicked into gear with the right medication. All together, these good things percolate into a my dream state and combine with the greater anxieties of being alive <i>now, </i>forming a direction that lead to a kind of surreal doom of poverty and inability to help myself or others.<br />
<br />
I am sure with climate change concerns and economic employment crisis touted as going to get worse for my particular generation, many people are anxious. Kurt Vonnegut calls these concerns as products from "Big Brains" who, to paraphrase, make their own contexts to make their own problems.<br />
Ads push us to buy more, god-like celebrities make us hungry for more, as soon as we get these material things they are probably not so valuable, Political leaders don't represent our interests, information is so manipulated it may as well be fairytale, the important facts are secrets, our foods are damaging ourselves because we are aggressively cheap, its decadence in some areas, stingy in others - a misalignment of values, or is it misinformation? how did we get so extremely poor and wealthy? intelligent and ignorant? specialised and vague? simultaneously? what matters now? how do we know? aren't we swimming in our own faults!<br />
<br />
alive in the now<br />
we are so smart<br />
we can invent<br />
we talk so much<br />
we are dumb<br />
<br />
more alive in dreams<br />
growth is so fast<br />
It is turbulent<br />
I was swimming<br />
direction of fools<br />
<br />
I am sure that the frustration of watching people with power/ jobs / businesses continuing to ignore the essential ingredients to life is hugely frustrating. Its a kind of pointless intellect if you can see a problem but have no way to communicate it. Sometimes I thank everything I have art.<br />
<br />
just keep swimming<br />

<p dir="ltr">I will have to remember that its a choice to perceive size as big or small. Probably more accurate is to refer to complicated or simple. easy and hard to do are the same things from different perspectives.  big or small is just about what you have experienced before and relating it. <br>
small time / big time. its really just time. </p>
<p dir="ltr">just time. </p>
<p dir="ltr">so many things are just time, not skill, not even effort, just how much time you are willing to devote to one activity... the longer -- invariably the better you will be at that thing. </p>
<p dir="ltr">the notion of talent is misleading.  the idea of great talent as compared to average talent.... indicates time spent more than mystically inherited skill. </p>
<p dir="ltr">so ill spend my time. just spend it. The only real currency of value we all own.<br><br></p>

This work is an exploration in fluidity. A manifestation of the scientific premise that all matter is in a process of motion; "flux".<br />
<br />
Have you ever read Alex Garland's book 'The Beach'?, it is one of the many holiday classics to peruse, one which caught my attention many year ago (no, not because Leonardo Di Caprio was so young and gorgeous in the film version). There is a small section that I found interesting referring to the infinite possibilities that the universe holds. If the universe is infinitely expanding, there is infinite possibilities that there are worlds just like ours, infinite opportunities for a world that is practically paralell to ours.<br />
<br />
This isnt the first time such an idea was published, and it wont be the last, but the idea is a curious thought experiment. Paralell. Like a mirror, possibly just reflecting, or possibly a window into that other world. Maybe a bit more organic than a mirror, more like a puddle. A reflection in a surface caught between two substances (i.e water and air, or metal and glass). It is the subsance between the two - the dividing surface that caught my minds attention.<br />
<br />
In my mind, that surface between substances was just lick the reflective substance to a mirror, or the field of a doorway between two rooms - penetratable but separate.<br />

<br />
And so I began a huge experiment series that was to explore this area between things. It wasnt about space, but about the way the light acts on the surface between. Warping, like the photo above.<br />
<br />
So I filmed bubbles underwater and their reflections underwater (only visible at a 42 degree angle) hoping to find a way to compare the similarities between bubbles rising underwater and their inverse partner ; droplets of water falling in air.<br />
<br />
Both organic spherical entities rushing to reach their equilibrium, and only visible because of the augmented speed and direction of light reflecting from them. <br />
<br />
The video in itself isn't much, but as a beginning, it is great. <br />
<br />
<br />
I want to capture or represent this complicated idea that many invisible things a fluctuating around us - which are only visible by the light reflecting differently. (Light is so essentially linked to time, and so in order to simply this idea, I will refer to time, rather than light - even though we need one to have the other. )<br />
<br />
The patterns in the light reflected by the water make a lace structure of strong ans weak refractions as the waves undulate ; <br />
<br />

<br />
And so - I endeavoured to make warped, waved mirrors, to try to capture this feeling. Many methods and materials were explored - like Resin layers, Gladwrap portals, and loads of hot glue. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There are plenty ways of making the rift between things change the light- one of the ways I look forward to making my own is finding a nice slab of glass to smash, but it will have to wait, in time :P<br />

<br />
And just in time for the exhibition - Perspex was abused to make an undulating surface. Fabulous with a reflective paint underneath. I am still searching for the depth and drama that water surfaces can warp with, but many steps in the right direction were made for this exhibition.<br />
<br />
Here are some observed examples of the surface interrupted/light redirections that I am hunting, with imgs of some linked experiment art pieces of a reproduction of this effect; <br />

I cant make a mistake in clay.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I only say it that way because I don't think mistakes exist, rather its part of a becoming. <br>
if I had a particular ideal and was striving towards it... it'd be easy to find the mistakes (figurative sculptors, my heart goes out to you). But I like the discovery of a journey and find a finished piece is finished when its full of personality. </p>
<p dir="ltr"> It's a friendly way to approach the making process I suppose. ... humanises the maturing of a work, as if it was becoming itself, rather than what I want.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This approach only really works because I have the distance between the piece, the kiln and me. A distance of time and space... could I call the kiln a nursery ?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Intense nursery!</p>
<p dir="ltr">But then - it would have to be - these materials have spewed from the core of our planet, as old as the rock itself. </p>
<p dir="ltr">When I think about the monumental scale that is referenced in ceramics - I feel a responsibility to communicate the link we have to our environment. Actions and reactions - we make it and everything is in a process of some kind. ... in <u>flux</u></p>

In my head its like a really stiff sponge. I imagine that the glaze and glass can tighten the outside surface- sealing and cementing the sponge. <br>
When its a slab of clay canvas and I only glaze one side - I am pretty sure that a crack is going to happen where the clay is thinned and the tension is <u>sharp</u> with a tight and crazed glaze. This kind of crack is one that happens after firing when the clay is absorbing the water of the air and the day.... not one necessarily about the temperature! <br>
And so to counteract this potential weakness , I have started playing with resin - one that will absorb into the clays and be the room temperature glaze that balances the tension. By doing this I have a good feeling the piece is stronger and more resistant to knocks.... and it is yet another layer of chemistry to explore !</p>
<p dir="ltr">Although the synthetic nature of plastic does not bode well with my health.... I feel like synthetic works made of plastics are in a way cheating from the true and honest chemistry of ceramics.... but I have many more experiments to do before I start glazing both sides of the painting! </p>
<p dir="ltr">(It is an idea to play with for sure!)<br>

<p dir="ltr">Either way- it has sparked ideas of demonstrations of pouring glass crucibles into paintings - to actually paint wuh the liquid glaze - but these dreams are limited only by my facilities available to me. <br>
I am hungering for a gas kiln and stoneware temperatures, as well as lots of space, raku tools and equipment , as well as practice time and finally an audience! <br>
The plan is thrilling - <br>
To make a few ceramic cups. Fill them to the brim with glaze and found glass. Have a clay canvas made and put it all into the firing (some normal glazes partially covering the canvas to act as an anchor )... the firing is to go to just below stoneware temps- to activate the glazes and make sure it all got sticky... then when it has cooled at about 600 - open up that bad boy and pick up the cups of glaze and pour them onto the clay canvas - all sitting in the kiln - and let it all goo around and flow in a wierd and crazy unusual way.... who knows - depending on the temperature intervals I could pour the glaze like sugar and spin it into something that branches out of the surface.... </p>
<p dir="ltr">Perhaps into a window of glass itself...</p>
<p dir="ltr">Buhm buhm <u>bahhmmm</u></p>

<br />
This weblink is all about a couple of architects and clayworkers in India who managed to experiment and complete a fired mud brick house. What a dream ! I love it, maybe one day I will be able to make one myself...<br />
<br />
I dream of buying land in the Aussie Outback and designing a mad mud brick house. I would dig and dig and mix and mix the clays, the soil, the mystery quartz, all into the pieces of wall. I would do it gradually so that it would dry all the way through. I'll use only the materials on the land that I own. Kind of like early settlers houses, except then I want to glaze the walls and roof and everything and set it all on fire. Fire it for weeks, until I can see the glaze is shiny. It'd work better if I build the house like a HUGE Anagama kiln, up hill and with tunnels for heat to churn upward. With plenty of window holes for air. Who knows- maybe the experiment would leave a giant cocoon cave on the side of the hill - unusable and dangerous with glaze shards around, oozing out of the mass. Or maybe it'll be a real treasure trove hidden halfway in a hill, that only the few curious friends will know about. <br />
<br />
Sure, I have dreamt about it plenty, but exact planning hasn't happened yet - because - lets be honest, I don't have enough money for a car or to move out of my parents house, let alone a chunk of aussie golden soil!<br />
<br />
But one day, some day, I will, and it'll be a real landmark/museum/home/exhibition space/ safehouse/experiment/learning centre. Maybe I can try it enough times that it could become big enough to have people share it with me, like a residency program or a school!<br />

<br />
So yeah, its a picture of cloud, and - oh look - a lucky bird flew by and made it a bit more than a completely average image. But today it feels a testament to prove that things are never what you plan them to be, they are sometimes able to be better than you can strive for. Now that I have added that good feeling adage, I have changed how I look at the image entirely and perceive the trajectory is upward in a hopeful rise to the free flowing freedom birds have on - clearly- windy days. <br />
So maybe if I want to feel good about a picture, next time I could write good happy things near it and then my feelings will blur the lines....<br />
<br />
Or it wont and I'll continue to question everything.<br />
<br />
I like both outcomes.<br />

Its not like a time warp, but its like ilder fashioned things are prioritised over the new, flash and brash.

Sometimes looking at the smaller picture is enough to begin imagining the bigger one.<br />
<br />
I sometimes even choose to cover my eyes so that I cam only see bits at a time, giving me a chance to realign all the fragments into something I like, just to see what else is possible.<br />
<br />
Here are some fragments of a piece about to be exhibited in BUNKERED in Branch Gallery, Forest Lodge, Sydney. Opens on Saturday, but bookings are required.<br />

Should I glue this exciting piece of pink glazed glass shard onto this ceramic or not. <br>
If I dont glue it on the piece retains its integrity as a whole composition that has become of itself in the firing. If I add a bit afterwards does that compromise this idea? I think so, but it looks very interesting with it and a bit more balanced as a composition. <br>
And it hasnt even been hung with rope yet so perhaps these decisions are premature. My feeling is - stick it on - cause this shard will forever be framed in a more interesting place than if left on the shelf. <br>
Perhaps this is all an elaborate frame..<br>
Perhaps my painting is to frame the chemistry.. Perhaps the structure and composition is a frame of the random elements of drool and melting point adjustments. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Perhaps. Maybe its just a weird ceramic thingo that some people can find substance in and some people can't. Maybe its one of those pieces where its so vague your reaction is more of a <br>
reflection of yourself than of me. </p>
<p dir="ltr">That could be said of people too, and every artist paints themselves so, by that logic: <br>
hello, I am a frame to chaos. </p>

The fear of the wrath of the other sharing artists keeps me up. but the dream of the glorious run and interlocking of materials is keeping the suspense so real!<br />
the melted disaster could produce Chaos embodied as the two materials unevenly interact and change the predicted melting point into something probably more around the 600 mark. Its becoming an entity of itself as the glaze reforms and cools as we speak. I wait for the results not today, but tomorrow!<br />
<br />
Ceramics has a way of breaking the monotony of life by passing time in stages rather than minutes. I only feel I have had a week when I have had a firing. Sometimes these weeks roll for months, but why know the hour when it passes anyway?<br />
<br />
I am a blind watchmaker.<br />
<br />
For now I have to accept Schroedingers cat is dead and alive and try to not feel anyway successful nor a failure. But then again I usually enjoy the risky ones so much more than the predictable ones so I wait with positivity in my soul! <br />

<br />
It makes me focus like nothing else. All of a sudden things that I could do, but don't have to, fall to the wayside and only the necessary is contained in the schedule. <br />
<br />
And its interesting to look back on how priorities change over time. Last week it was very important that I rest my sprained ankle and I could think of nothing other than outside activities, and this week in full health I have seen the time-crunch and the admin details build up, build up - pleading to be filled out, filed and developed.<br />
<br />
And to my shame it is often friend-oriented events which fall away as well. I have noticed recently that I do take for granted their golden gift of time.<br />
That is changing as now Art and Friendship reign again as main priorities<br />
