3/7

a vague blank feeling — morning — i can’t listen because jeannine might wake up and need to go out
i can be working on many things — why not — just open photoshop and do something

6:30
my systems overwhelm me

i’ve been getting into the collections but not getting far — i haven’t had time to photograph — my ideas keep coming back to photographing objects and writing about them — this requires a set of work habits —

my notebooks are up to date but totally neglected — again - i’ve forgotten what i’ve done and where things are — the notebooks should be what everything is organized around —

what is the general idea —
some sort of statement about art (not ‘art and writing’ which is what i just wrote and changed — because writing is art — this is one of the things that i want to get at/into — the automatic association of art with visual art — one says ‘art and writing’ or ‘art and music’ while at the same time thinking that music is as much an art as painting is (or as much non-art))
— not ‘some sort of statement’ but a lot of statements — a lot of ideas — an inconsistent and always changing set of ideas
consistency in art thinking - in thinking about art (differentiate these — can thinking be an art) is not a desirable trait — there aren’t many situations in which i think consistency is a good thing —
inconsistent fragments — ideas change over time —

i’m never the same (as what) but i’m always the same person — or am i what are the differences between the me that was yesterday or any other day — and the me that is now — and when is now (that’s been a consistent question (there are different types of consistency — i’m consistently inconsistent) — when is now — writing is intended for another time - another place - another person - another situation))
