I’m looking forward to this year being finished because I don’t know where my work will be when it is and that’s a very interesting position. I almost don’t want to achieve terminally ‘resolved’ work. I’m not keen on the idea of ‘finished’ when applied to sculpture and I like the idea that objects always have a potential to become something else. Methodically perhaps the way I make art can be called Process because I set myself rules or parameters involving material and actions I apply to it. I make these rules up in accordance to an emotional response to the place I’m working in. Perhaps I will try to combine this process with potentiallity and make work that is able to evolve; where it’s future is somehow obvious in it’s present. Dont know. It’s a movable feast!
I’m expecting my work to change this year because I’m in a different building now and perhaps some of the work I do will be to find new places in which to work. Just like taking exercise the most difficult thing to do is to start – it takes nerve – yet once I’ve started everything makes sense and more possibilities are born. Perhaps this is where potentiallity can come in, I don’t know?
