slow working
I'm not getting much opportunity to work on this project at the moment. I'm developing viola, voice, and piano as well as continuing with the organic forms strand of the painting. Recently I've had this wonderful opportunity to work on the Ecstasis project, which meant a focus on music for the last couple of weeks.
The Indian gods are never far away, but they need some time and attention.

the cosmic egg is gold
Today I realised that I've been going about this in the wrong way. Trying to get the different ideas to come together into something meaningful or concrete.... I had to stop, because they weren't coming. It was too difficult. I see now that I was being too conceptual, acting as if I had to write a paper or give a talk. But it isn't a paper, it's images and ideas and texts and textures. They don't have to come together intellectually or conceptually. Trying to make them do so has been blocking me up.
At the moment I'm working with just trying to bring things together, so that they can make their own connections. Or not.
These are Vedic creation hymns, circa 1000 BC.

ecstasis project
I'm feeling very privileged to part of the Ecstasis project at the Macrobert Arts Centre here in Stirling. I just had a wonderful two days working with Mark Storor and Shona Reppe and a group of amazing artists.
