I’m currently working on and developing a number of projects
at the moment. this seems to be my usual working practice these days and I
suppose it is the way that I work best. I like the way that one project can
seep over into the other and perhaps inform it in unexpected ways. often
because I work in diverse media this seepage creates a kind of unity in what I
do and perhaps provides a link between the two and three dimensional aspects of
my work. there are also difficulties in this way of working, of which
concentration on the matter at hand is most likely the greatest. so because of
this I’m trying not to rush things and allow the works to develop at their own
pace. I’m taking inspiration from one of Franz Kafka’s aphorisms; “All
human errors are impatience, a premature breaking off of methodical procedure,
an apparent fencing-in of what is apparently at issue.”. although of
course due to the constraints of living and working in the real world these “breakings
off” will always occur but for the time being I am going to see how far I can take
this “methodical procedure” in search of a satisfactory outcome for these
current projects.
