This is an interesting idea that I have discussed with Caroline which had been on my mind for sometime (from the book which I had recently read "Air Made Visible" by Bruno Munari).
HOW ABOUT HANGING THE CANVASES FOR TASK THREE IN A HAPHAZARD WAY INSTEAD OF ORDERLY/ORDINARY WALL HANGING?
I have started reflecting on my work recently as I stepped back from it. I wanted to take time for decisions and applying some of the "transgressive ideas" which I had been reading from the book "Air Made Visible". As discussed, Caroline suggested to try it out on a small canvas first as a little experiment so as to have a better idea at what can happen. Painting at the back of the canvas was interesting as I was viewing the canvas as an object instead of a surface. I had some apprehensions about the hanging process, however upon trial I liked the way it swayed.I liked the idea of mobile as the painting transforms itself to a kinetic sculpture.
There had been a moment where I had been concerned about the frames of the canvas, judging them to be "rigid". At this point, my mind was overwhelmed with ideas as turning the series of paintings into the pages of a book-like sculpture where the viewer can interact with it. Another farfetched idea was to consider constructing cuboids with the canvases so as to be viewed totally as sculptures. I think this thinking process is essential; some of this fleeting personal conversations with myself can even lead to something of massive importance. However, talking about these ideas to an audience at this stage can consequently ruin the viewer's expectation of the work. At this time of decision-making, my most important decision was finally to order my thoughts and look out for my priorities. At the end, it was simply to do with reconsidering my aims and objectives.

What came out-Some important ideas:
1. The idea of "play" has been becoming more and more recurring in my works, so much so that I am deviating from my primary objective which is to create a whole series of paintings which will be experienced as a whole while viewed affixed on a wall surface.
2. I am fascinated by the idea of "the finished" turning out to be other possibilities;hence another deviation from the aim.
3. The idea, the creation of the idea/process, the created object which in turn reprocesses new sets of ideas. How far can new ideas be applied? Are they not unnecessary risks at times?
