Returning to Cecil...
The physical dependance drives me cRaZy - mostly with music
-
my mind telling me that there's more than enuf sound on the web and the
non-physical elsewhere to keep my fascinations ringing for the eternities
after the honeymoon, but as stuff goes out the back door in almost trapezoid
strictness, the squall-fed label profiteers paratroop onto my front lawn and
queue up at the front, BUT, it soon becomes "0"s and "1"s - same with words,
documents, and bits of detritus found in the garden (like this old "Pop Rocks"
wrapper - both sides):
They become jumping off points for higher elements of creative
work,
but not necessarily in physical form.
So, the question really becomes: To you, how important is the physicality
of artwork - that you need to have it around you? It seems to me that
these large scale works can't really be turned into "0"s and "1"s (except thru
documentation, I suppose).
Do those of you who create physical artworks on a larger scale
(canvas, sculpture) have the problem of having too much creat(ed/ive)
work. around the studio? Yes, of course, you want to sell stuff, but what
of the stuff that you can't sell? Is there a "past-it's-sell-by-date" at some
time where it's documented then discarded?

An Intelligence so Intriguing Everyone

So, a few days ago,
I came to the conclusion
I simply have too much stuff
and need to rid myself of it at thoroughly discounted
prices.
I am consumed with collecting
highly difficult to find pieces [of text]
Needless to say, I was doing my best
[to have a workable set]
but I do not know how likely that is.
I am simply foolishly excited over the prospect
[of providing] you with some
entertainment.::Bows::
I realized, a tad too late,
I spent almost my entire paycheck on
Small [poetic] imperfections which fill me with
shame.
Another little tidbit that might be
amusing…
on Tuesday night,
shut off the inane chattering of your mind for a
moment
give it the old college try.
[Don't worry if your] not learned in such things.
I knew I had forgotten something;
a more involving plot
I was not even aware of this rule!
um, opps.
so much for that
experiment eh?
I have tried
several different things
nothing has worked of yet.
Oh fiddlesticks,
does anyone have any advice for poor
me?
