changes in temperament etc

the pristine surface
the found surface vs the transformed
a splash of paint as an element I’ve always thought about but never used
the difficulty I have destroying material — taking wood and making sculpture — I gathered “extra” drift wood pieces to carve or work with in other ways —
natural colors — grain patterns — weathered plywood — weathered signs

the idea of strange art exhibits in this far away area — which no one will attend — carefully catalogued and documented

ideas
vague non spatial
the heavy presence of New York Boston L.A. etc
ideas of ideas

the book — abandon reflections as is — fragment of something

vortex1
VBK the book
Ref failures abandoned

transform to pages — dead leaves

(quote Cortázar)

what did the dead leaf keep repeating

leaf leaves
leave left
left page right page

or do I want a stack of pages printed only on one side
the size of the page?
perhaps a horizontal page divided in different ways
this would work on a one side basis — in a bound volume the spine could be place upward and the pages lifted — perhaps they would be treated like a calendar with an illustration on the back of the page
abandon —

my difficulty in using material for art because i fear ruining the material —
everything points away from my making art except for painting —
