Proposed Presentation

OK well i feel, for the first time in forever that i can remember, that i'm actually prepared for this presentation on thurs. I got to travel to the capital & give a blurb in the hope of getting a job making a sculpture. Of course as usual its all confidential so sadly i won't go into details but u know who u are etc. Anyway this time yes i have a Powerpoint, yes i have ONE model, and a fully realised very simple straightforward yet slightly witty Idea. So i'm happy about that.

The life sized man tho well its progress has been stopped completely while i got ready for this other thing & perhaps that is a bad thing. Anyway i'm still stumped at how on earth i'm gonna make it in this new studio, like out of what material. I'm almost even falling into the idea of plasticene. i really hate the lack of fightback it has & i see many horrible sculptures from it. But it doesn't need to have the last word does it. After all its up to me to beat it into submission.

Anway i won't be taking a lovely little holiday in the capital i will be coming more or less back the next day & get back to work on life sized dude.

Am really thinking my days in my real waged job are coming to a close. i realised today that  used to enjoy the job a bit, it had its moments & was generally good. But i struggle to remember when i had fun at work last or hell even did anything slightly interesting. I feel like i have forgotten how to learn new things as when i need to, it is usually under great stress & u never learn anything properly under great stress do ya. Not when u have other stresses waiting on ya too. So get a clue fast, make a guess, hack it together & u may never even know what happened but you're already hacking something else so no time to think.

Not good, not sustainable either. The Xmas rush sucked severely but we thought we'd get a rest later. Not gonna though eh. It never ends, there is always some asshole causing trouble.

  1. Good luck with the presentation. Have fun in Canberra - HA ! That they've got great bike paths is nice, but still not enough that I'd ever wanna live there or anything.
    The Bronzes here in Mexico City are lovely - I'm inspired heaps, but that'll all have to wait a while. This one in particular has given me some ideas to ponder on http://www.flickr.com/photos/tall_dave/4524932270/
