Striving for perfection in life, in art... why? Because it is prescribed?
Am I a passive consumer? No, then...
...let us dissent...
...let us embrace the ruined, the perverse, the devastated, the broken, the aged, the dead,
for true beauty lies therein,
nature is us all in the end.
Relent, repent, dissent.

The process cycle/circle has been an experiment within this project; firstly drawing cracks using charcoal on paper, then burning these drawings, the ashes saved and used to create paint. The ash paint like beauty cream or mask, I applied it to my face, the lower half as if silencing me, controlling my voice.

The weather and location were only a short walk away, a very grey day with light rain added to the sounds and smells of the site. The large, flat rock space, upon which I performed to camera, mirrored my skin as the ash dried and began to crack.

As the rain continued, it started to breath life back into the dry ash, to my face.

Being dissents...

Horizontal connections with Block_II Karen and Ash...
'Hi Karen and Ash, your words back and forth are resonating with me, the very idea that as an artist, one is 'dissenting by being'. That is what I am exploring, being... 'outside the system', 'off the grid' (no mains electricity - rainwater collection - compost toilets - burning olive wood for heating), 'outside the norm' 'perverse' - in the margins, that is my dissent. My making of work is part of the exploration but the 'being dissents'. I've really enjoyed following your journey. With dissent, foggy mountains of Catalunya.'

Make up is fiction

Today, I have been thinking about the double meaning of make up..One as something that is fictional..the other, as something to cover mistakes..Is make up made up? Standardised tubes of synthetic skin..sold in bulk to cater for everyone.....the mass produced sold as solutions to our defects and humanity...Tubes of standardised archetypal skin...
We can achieve fictitious perfection. That's the external covered..What about the internal? Feelings etc? 

Emojis!Emojis and Emojis!
Perfect for standardised communication...Perfect circles of neatly packaged emotion.
