Dear cris and John
I'm working on a series with a working title _Frames and Traps_.
At the moment this is a visual, conceptual and philosophical project.
Each morning I make a pencil drawing in a small sketch book in my studio,
without looking at the page I'm drawing on and as far as I can, without
thinking visually.
Occasionally in the evening studio, looking at a large sheet taped to the
work top, I facture a drawing of a trap using pencils, inks, tapes and a
variety of media. So far this work has involved both diagrammatic and
observational drawings of a variety of animal, human, apple and light
traps.
In the same occasion-space I add a scaled-up example of a morning drawing
to the evening work.
The systematic elements of this work involve aleatoric decisions. The
shapes and details of some of the traps I'm looking at have
non-functional, arbitrary orders.
Only a poor philosopher would separate chance from order. Only a fool
thinks they are the same. Yet the philosopher can be energised by the
quest.
Today this seems to be what I thought about your question.
love
allen
