Shake wiggle wiggle

It's been a long time since i've posted and thats because I really have done nothing at university I am particularly proud of, that is apart from what i am about to post, obviously, which incidentally is intense so hold on tight.

I just specialized in sculpture, which I've been told is the percussion of the art world, slow steady and I guess a bit bland, I like making stuff, I like stuff, i presume stuff likes me if the world works like that.

This project was about navigation, which made me think of Richard Long who i rekon is a serious contender for most boring man in existence, go have a quick google, he stacks rocks and walks in circles and stuff. fun man. I really wanted to dig a big square out of the medows, I was told not to do this and to dig in other stuff, and as a 19 year old boy with the mind of a 4 year old, i didn't think very hard and instantly went to toast.

I feel cutting stuff out is important, but carefully placing the remnants is also important right? and yes i have been trying this with all sorts of food, and soup is in the pipelines, i've nearly cracked it. promise.

Digging holes is good.

yeah, pissing about in the snow and digging holes counts as art. question it? bring it up with donald Judd, however i will warn you, he is stubborn.

That above was my final piece, because of the snow i got to go home and leave it in college for some one else to clean up YEAAAAH. im the bad lad of the sculpture world. anyway, i have an unnatural obsession with boarders and boundaries at the moment, and i was thinking deeply about the concept of space and how we perceive it. this is obvious from a pile of sawdust on a desk, right?
