The technology we are working with on our current art project is called “Augmented Reality”…
MY! A huge learning curve!
But as you can see it has interesting of possibilities!

What is an idea that appears unexpectedley or following a long relfection in space
Without force of gravity of the mind?
An idea formed by adding together the countless thoughts that have gone before.
Polished by the flow of time, compressed by the weight of memories,
Fissured by the doubts and uncertainties that insinuate between thoughts, separating them?
It is a river stone that appears among the branches of a tree.
A stone suspended between the branches of a tree,
Separated from the ground by a body that is not earth and is not air,
A stone between the force of gravity and the force of attraction of light.
A thought contained in a river stone.
A thought in the shape of a skull.
The stones in the riverbed like paving stones in roads covered by footsteps.
Steps that pushes the seeds into the ground, seeds that push the leaves up into the sky.
The steps are leaves in the wind.
The stones are skulls in the ground.
My skull is a stone suspended.
A three-tonne thought suspended between the branches of a tree.

I’m Heading to Czech Republic for an artist in residence! Wooop Woooop!
Here are some pics:
I never thought I would meet my favourite band … when I was 12yrs. But I did… I had to record their singing in the studio; and I was the only one there… corny as this sounds… but for a moment it felt like they were singing it to me! I was so speechless… I was mumbling my words whenever they talked to me.
Check out the video.. click below..watch me do it twice!

At the moment I’m making a new art work titled ‘heard’… Its so overly ambitious..hoping inside it will work out.. these are the characters I modelled for the piece, I was happy that I had to strip them from being very detailed; at first I made them so detailed; but later the technology limited me to make them simple.. I was a little upset that I had to do them multiple times; but I remember that’s part of the process.. to let go & work with what you can.. yeh.. not to over control the process.. Or you will loose the true nature of the work….
