Since I read this interview with Richard tuttle I have been thuroughly inspired by nature vs machine.
I've been collecting sticks to make mobiles.
Two have been completed, balancing act one&two.
moblie ONE appears extremely fragile, the twigs are slender and the tips shoot out in crossing directions.
During the walk home one twig actually snapped.
The noise created a flash of thoughts about how life is beautiful and fragile. How one moment everything can be alright and the next a tragic accident can happen and all will be lost. Like when my grandfather was supposed to get out of the hospital the last week of march but while standing his knee gave out and his brittle bones snapped. How his blood was too weak to fight the leukimia, heal his break, and kill the infection in his intestines. How one moment he was fighting for his life, a possibility of a future, then the next he gave up. He stopped all medication he snapped like a twig and allowed himself to die.
From now on i am not creating works to appease my teachers I am creating works that channel my emotions through memories.
The nature moblie structures will be posted shortly as well as my prior one "series of identification".
