Today, I wanted to document my walk
alongside the river to the beach. I always look
forward to these walking activities. And recently, I just found some crazy ideas about the artist who
brought in "an immersive installation" into a gallery space :https://news.artnet.com/art-world/olafur-eliasson-floods-danish-museum-with-river-installation-81795. I
was fascinated by this idea and I being in my environment now; I wanted
to think about ideas of displacement and the created space... And of course Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers and Tides: ideas about ephemerality and time: http://www.scotsman.com/news/interview-andy-goldsworthy-artist-and-sculptor-1-2005262 ....Some ideas that are important to me are 1. the "understanding" of the place, 2. the difference between looking at something and working with it .., 3. the field work made in the spirit of experimentation, 4. the particularities: the colours specifically produced by the light, the waves, the "situation", the dead and decaying:the uniqueness..., 5. As I start to work with the environment:a boundary is forged which is of social nature:social layers-other people work with the environment too:tourist industry,fishermen.., 6. the place where I would often return to, 7. the works that I am making teaches me something about the place, the material, the atmosphere, the relationships between the shells, the sea,the waves.., 8. the spirit of anticipation and the questioning of my personal emotional involvement, 9. the now and today..
