power of the frame.


I think I have head over heals fallen in love with the picture frame. While looking at Jason Kraus (amazing!) it felt really wonderful. His work was great and I felt really strongly about it. I also feel like I'm meandering that way in toddler steps. See piece to left.



Also, I have my first physical project in line with the compositions project.

A} The composition project is about documenting my ideas that I can't complete for one reason or another right now. My hope is that a physical sketch book will be an investment to their merit and will encourage me to perhaps begin to do them. Also I would like other people who can, to feel free and make the pieces or be inspired by them.Ultimately it feels hard, but that is the art I would like to pursue.

B} I would also like to track down previous conceptual pieces from other artist that had event, happenings, performance, etc. typed sketches or written instructions and perform them myself. Just for personal practice and different ways of thinking, and because I am intrigued in also becoming a spectator to instructions.

With that -- I hope to do perform a Yoko Ono Instructional November 2cnd.

I was weary for a moment due to Yoko's introduction to the book and what the pieces mean to her. I for some reason had a lot of assumptions that were different than I expected. She meant them as pieces to imagine and for her just the very act of typing them and exhibiting them felt revolutionary. Which for me I was excited to perform other performers work that had never been exhibited -- I hadn't taken into account that they chose it to not be performed and done. I guess in part that is the vulnerability to being an artist. After some thought I decided that I would perform some of Yoko's pieces alone with documentation. I guess in thinking about it -- I feel especially inspired by the simplicity of the instructional paintings enough that I imagined myself really doing them.
