Morpheus

Morpheus

The final weeks of making my piece was a lot simpler than in the beginning.  I had really tied myself up in knots and ‘what to make’ began intruding  my  dreamspace… every night!

One night i dreamt about myself sitting on top of a grand piano in Rodin’s pose with the piano tied around my neck as a pendant!!!  Many nights were spent swimming in the ocean’s watery dreamscape with molten plastic swirling all around.

My subconscious had decided to take over where the intellect was flailing. Morpheus –  god of dreams had come to the rescue!

another day…fresh eyes

another day, fresh eyes – looking again i realised that i was dwelling on the english text and not paying much attention to the spiral of chinese characters accompanying this. I was struck by just how strange and beautiful its form was – although im chinese i never learnt to read it but my inability to dechiper its meaning was totally irrelevant,  beauty is a universal language, belonging to a visual world.

So to my material, more unfamiliar territory – polymorph plastic. ‘Morph’ the ability to change into another form or structure. iv put some pix up…

sometime in the beginning…

i have spent weeks looking at a sea of words, pretending to be a sentance – supposedly a structure inwhich surrounding words would lend support and guide me toward ‘understanding.’ yeah right…

i got lost in linguistics…

i tried being clever “i would find the answer to this riddle!”   I didnt.

The words were pulling me apart in opposing directions, in desperation i thought about following the adjectives as prescribed (like vile banana flavoured antibiotic. ) I imagined piling up various objects: rectangular, domed, pair, 6 cm, transparent, hard, soft, fluid, mirrored, trash…..oh dear, only the last word resonated….that was what i would end up with :<
