i?ve been offered a six week residency at the purple shed studio. it’s come out of nowhere and i have no idea what to make there. it’s ok as they are ok with me experimenting with ideas. i?ll not get to see the place until later.
luckily i?ve been at a bit of a loss what to do lately, so i am able to take full advantage of the offer. they seem quite relaxed about me starting when i?m ready and doing what i want. they tell me that there are resources available that i can respond to, or make stuff with or merely move about so the place looks different than when i began.
it’s quite lovely that this has come to me with out having to write reams of statement and intention. having said that, with the offer i need to find intention, or do i? why do i need intention to begin with. maybe something will follow from the studio, to give me some boundaries. i might have a chat with them, maybe out of a conversation the direction will be specified. i?m hoping there is no predefined destination. oh hang on, they?ve stated experimenting is ok. ok, i?m getting excited and filling in gaps that aren’t actually there.
to fill in some actual gaps i?ll go and write some stuff in a book, with a pen. kind of old fashioned, however it’s a technology that works consistently and needs very little electricity to make it work to be read.
