feeling another zine coming on.

me v. basin round 666 begins now / ding ding ding

fountain update: first water test failed, bottom of provided basin gave out. good news: sculpture held, pump and hose worked great while the basin held water. weekend solution: get a new basin but go build something else first while making profane utterances about basins because seriously, fuck basins.

i’ve spent all day fighting with the water feature pump and a thermos (it’ll make sense eventually) but the good news is that after many profanities i won (perhaps only a battle and not the war, tbd) and this commission is heading into the final stretch and oh thank fuck

update: the water feature did not break me.

…i will not let a water feature break me i will not let a water feature break me i will not let a water feature break me…

therapeutic unsettling creature build complete means back to pretty fountain commission / balance balance.

another day, another principles update:

“/005: More often than not, the (creative) decision preceded by “fuck it” is the best one.”

Updated my principles page:

“Being adaptable to your creative tempo changing with each project is essential: sometimes outrunning your thoughts is the way; sometimes you have to slow down and find a different path with a microscope. All are valid so long as it gets the work where it wants to go.”

Playing with a sampler for the first time and I’m having a lot of fun: it’s like making stuff out of scrap metal, only with bits and scraps of sound.
