Project revision

So, I think it's time to think about scaling back on this project a bit. My original intention was to have these ideas connected to this idea of accumulation but in fact I think I've strayed too far in trying to cover too much. The good people at the Chinati Foundation and the McColl center seem to agree, as well as some of the feedback from this site and emails I've received.

What I would like to do is focus more clearly on the quantity and consumption issues, while also dealing with collections and archives- both addressing the urge to have more things, and the way they are arranged (carefully and museum-like in colelctions, randomly in piles when one is done using something.) That will be the focus of the work in Holland, working on large drawings and paintings in conjunction with sculptural projects using piles and collections.

I will be using this blog as a space to redefine these concerns, while also maintaining it as a space to work problems out- thus it will still be messy and unfocused until I get this together.
