e32 editing = complete

location picking
making a choice. choices. it has been really nice wandering around thinking "oh, you could do it there, this way" and "or there, this way" and sort of playing with the various images, how it would look, how you would do it, all in my head, yes there's a certain amount of pleasure in that, and of course it's necessary to some extent. but time does pass, and here we are, the piece isn't in the world yet, how is it going to be seen? so, committing, deciding. the idea is choose five spots. pursue them one after the other. if none of those five pan out, choose five more. (quickly.) repeat until the work is visible to everyone who can't see inside my head.
here are my first five choices: http://www.eriksanner.com/es_blog_2007/potential_chess_locations_070706.pdf
i should take a picture of the first one at night, that daytime shot doesn't do justice to the darkness, the barrenness of it. it's a beckoning chasm. a home for a spark.
all art is time-based
how long will it take to make the thing you want to make?
estimated time: as much as you give it. and it will be greedy for more.
a little dose of reality
my artimini piece went through several experimental stages today, here's a phase that didn't really fit what was in my imagination
bigger don't-pinch-me-i'm-not-dreaming feeling when i noticed some little plants growing in my sink
