Wait till you see the giant pharaoh heads

FYI I’ve been living here for a week

This is beautiful, enough said…

So my mornings now consist of a 7am alarm, start work at 7:30 on a building site, until 1pm and then I am free to do whatever I like until I am too tired to move, normally at around 11pm.

I have been keeping myself sane by building a wee workshop in my folks garage, and entertaining myself making bits and pieces out of wood (for bikes). I sold the first pair of ‘Eastfenders’ to Tony at the weekend, so I am officially making for sale now!

Handlebars!

CV’s are out and about, as are a couple of other applications (crossed fingers)

I also went to see some of the shows that are part of LDF 09 at the weekend. Generally had a lovely time but was pretty disappointed with the festival as I think I tend to be anyway. I went to see YCN which had a lovely piece: the luxury skimming stones, I liked the events they talk of; I would love to know when/if they are used, and why, would you just pop them out at any time or would there need to be a celebration, or special occasion, where are the rituals. Something he doesn’t explore, but maybe thats more interesting, though some speculative/suggested contexts would be nice to see.

We also went to see the Goldsmiths MA show, I was generally pretty upset by it, I thought there was some really sub-standard work. I wont dwell on bad stuff because Stephan saved the day, with his Urinal bin, and accompanying film, which are both lovely.

I’m hoping to get back at the weekend as I really haven’t seen enough, it’s making me sick that I’m not doing anything this year when shoveling sand and shifting bricks, roll on next year.
