Serious business deteriorating

24 hours ago I stood on the high ground of important paperwork achievements. I was serious, organised, focused and ... achieving goals. Kick kick kick. In one afternoon I had submitted 3 different exhibition applications, an application for funding, sent follow up emails to numerous arty possibilities and was kicking though tones of papery bits of importantness.

Today. Same deal. More applications, more please give me money, more replying to emails.

And then.....



I cant even join the dots....



I started thinking about lyrics to songs about NY....



and then I started recording myself...



it was bad...



but i did some more...



they were worse...



so I did some more...



no better.

But i thought that maybe a tiny tiny number of people might find them funny and release us all from trying so hard. I titled the album 'It's Worth Tryin'".

Happy to email some tracks if your curious

Preparing for Artecycle Exhibition

24 Hour Drawing Project

The 24 Hour Drawing Project was established by Kendall Nordin and myself in 2005 during our MFA as a method for generating a large volume of unedited work within a short period of time. Since our first courageous effort it has become a more complex project in which intensive effort, attention to process, action and time are explored. It has also expanded to include artists in various states of Australia as well as Washington DC and Shanghai. 

The 9th iteration of the event took place with Jenny Hector and myself earlier this month. Here are a few pics.

hout ever looking at the paper.

Then after 24 hours

Jenny's project was divided into 4 painting actions in which she coloured in the scuffs and pits of her studio wall

sometimes the 24HRDP is pure exhaustion but this time it was exhilarating
