Portsmouth 22nd April
unwillingly awakened by vivid dreams 4 nights in a row – exhausted by thoughts and worry
So I sit slumped in the hall and look both ways to the front and side waiting for a social solstice
instead i get
sun
entering
both
windows
either
side
warming
basking
reflecting
on
loosing
winters
cold
with
short
term
memory
skin
singing:
We forget easy
we forget how lucky we are
we forget how close we came
I have Spent a few days distracted from the essence of the project – a habituated hiatus – need – writing about the process for the REF at university plus some physical prototyping where I am Making and adding to the 5th ‘case’ – which leads to a telling – a letting go of secret number: Artifact 3
Artifact 1: – Konfirmation
Artifact 2: –
Artifact 3: A contemporary piece of serialism – music – derived from the workings of the project – premiered in London June 14th 2013
Artifact 4: –
Artifact 5: –
The complication
the detail
the bigger picture at the core
unforgotten
always in sight but never climbed
footholds
Traces
written upon a wall
right to left
left to right –
retrograde patterns
collected and described
forcibly pinned within
the book of life
by a Victorian collector of butterflies
colour dims
strangely as all life
fades to grey
leaving ant eaten laced wings and spoil
please
take me
take me
by the hand
and spin
0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7
times in a row
till I am clean
and ready to follow
digital vs analogue – Completed piece will also be available to listen – here
