Got some good work done with a whole lot of freedom this weekend. For the first time in a while, I don't have a number of shows bearing down on me...and while I'm not happy that no shows are planned right now, it is a welcome break to be able to focus on some more random projects.
I've always enjoyed working on found objects...the surface has a pre-conceived personality...the fact that it is an object that, at one point, functioned apart from art feeds the narrative in a somewhat "collaborative" way with the marks and intention of the artist...and then that they take up a physical space instead just being reserved to the wall, creating objects of curiosity...objects of "importance"...relics of some kind.
It's a piece of art...but it had an alternate life as well...it's a fossil from a forgotten past, re-imagined in today's world.
