I painted this week, because I needed to. I was simply overwhelmed with a desire to push paint around with a brush, maybe because I think through doing, and needed some kind of focused work. I'm planning to work more with photos and video this week though, and work with this idea that the process of creating one work leaves vestigial objects which can sometimes move into other works. I have a lot of interesting negatives I haven't printed yet, and the first structure of a film which I want to flesh out and execute.
I'm excited about the work we're doing in drawing, working with natural materials. Burning things. Especially the burning things. That, I like that. Also, I made a Siena style sculpture on the beach.
A strange theme to this week? Things fallen from the sky. Birds, pots, hail. . .
We think that...

- Our own finitude must be prevalent in any enquiry we conduct into the infinite - if only because, given the paradoxes of thought about the infinite, it is clear that we are better able to confront the infinite through analogies and contrasts than head-on.
What we are seeking then is nothing less than an account of our own finitude, and of our relation to the infinite.
