"Arbitrary and accidental incidents act as a starting point for a series of installations and sculptures that explore themes of process and transformation."
"For High Rise, a typical breeze block stands upright slowly absorbing rainwater collected in a discarded wheelbarrow. A distinct water level is visible on the brick's vertical surface, rising and falling depending on changes in the atmosphere."
This stuff is being exhibited in a gallery; I am quite interested in perhaps documenting the same kind of things but outside the white cube. Why not just leave the objects where one finds them?

  1. i'd quite like to do that...only then not being bothered about documenting the results. i'd like to just leave stuff without ever needing to know what happened to it, just for the sake of it, to do something without any particular reason. except that i think its actually a very good reason to do something without having a particularly good reason. its good for breaking up mundane everyday routine.

  2. i think its amazing how you can get osmosis to happen in a brick, i suppuse trees are pretty big and their masters at it but its still pretty cool
