once again back at home, tired and happy with the feeling of achieving what was desired today.
i took in a four foot steel rod, a vital tool when working at height.
i’ve installed the power cable today. tomorrow will be the rest of the physical elements being delivered to site and installed.
on friday i have a session with the adjacent practice and part of the curatorial team. i have some concerns about the adjoining work overspilling into the space that i see my work in. i’m looking forward to the discussion.
the professional practice module niggles at me still. i can’t ignore it for much longer.

once again my boots come off. it’s the little things for me.
i’ve responded to the opportunity set for me over the weekend. the lines are indeed parallel again and several coats further applied. i feel good about the progress until i walk around the other work, thoughts of ‘oh i wish i’d made that’ and umm i like the look of that and just how will those be displayed, i’ll pop back later.
tomorrow is an exciting day, installation of the mains electricity. a process frought with opportunity.
focussing on the job in hand in pleasing me, it does however mean i’ve not got the space in my thoughts for much else. i’m learning that that’s actually ok, again i learn more about the notion of catching up. i’ve never really understood that notion, until very recently.

installing the power cable today. the biggest challenge with the install to date. it’s very exciting.
after a rather annoying session, i’ve made it home again. the annoying characters have been annoying me today.
this morning there was a meeting about the draft catalogue. images are looking interesting and hints of the work of others are inviting.
i’ve learnt another important lesson about the process of installing work. if there’s anything to do at all that requires my absolute care in it’s completion, steer the volunteer towards the supportive colouring in the gaps section of the process. tonight it feels like a very big lesson i’ve learnt today. i look forward to tomorrow, to using what i have learnt today.
i think i might have pulled a muscle. i became aware of it last week while moving some furniture with my right leg.
today has been busy in the space and back home i’m tired and there’s a secretive smile lurking behind my egg butty stained lips.
today was a day in which i overcame the annoyance and the stress and the anxious ness ness of the last few days as i have been able to mark out the work and place some paint on the wall. the feeling of seeing the block of colour was good.
i’ve begun the process of installing the work.
working at home today. the cleaners appearance has stopped entry to the space. i’m cool with it, their appearance was an undisclosed event yesterday, now they’ve been, it gets a bit easier for me to think about the process of installation of my monument.
i did work on site yesterday, i experienced how stress is triggered by tiredness. i made sure i got myself into a position to relax and unwind last night. i slept well. today i feel loads better and the spring has returned to my step.
while some printing does it’s thing, i’ve thought about my blog. i’ve noticed how in one month it was in the most viewed section and the following month it was not. i’m wondering if i respond differently to writing the blog when i know it was being viewed more. in becoming self aware have i done something differently or has the entry stance swung another way as i prepare to install. i don't need to focus on the answers to those. i’m looking upward at feeling happy, having fun and knowing what is important to me. just in the last few days, i’ve been alble to consider those and the events of the weekend are providing sight of what it is i’m looking upward for.
