Observation Itself
Thoughts on Observation
Observations are picked like berries but often "mindlessly". Darting and grasping ideas try to bind onto something to care about around us. It's hard to get far from that.
But combinations of observations can feel more like symphony.
My walk was shaping up over the week to have to have been uninspiring being that it was in a park of workplace buildings. But there is a context to this place and it has a sense of age just the same way as do so many noteworthy places.
And in all, I tried clumsily to switch into getting more of a reading my environment, but it is an experience. And the attempt to interact with the experience by offering an organizing and packaging set of concepts may be important dialogue but there is one underneath which most reflects your true interests.
And still, on the other hand, even though I tried to manage the rumble forward of interpretations and categorizations and retrofitting, the observations process seems often more lyrical and crucially, more "true" nested in them.

HI Rajani, I think the image above is a really interesting way of capturing that nested moment, which, as you say, more than just a single moment but is more an experience of layered elements that make something meaningful.
ReplyDeleteThe image has really beautiful colour and I want to dive into it, especially where the dark blues and greens are illuminated by the sun. The work really captures movement and time. I wonder what would happen if you tried cropping it differently? The central element might feel even more dynamic if it weren't 'centered'.
Also, sorry for the late commentary. My comments made over the weekend didn't register and today is my first day available! I hope you're enjoying 'listening' / sound.
