Another contender for Best Thing Ever

So I was watching the 1987 movie Mannequin last night. There is a scene where Jonathan is in his apartment calling his Mom to see if there is any crazy in his family history. He walks past a gyroscope bicycle wheel! I want one.

To see this in motion skip to 6.33

This time last year... zebralope!

This time last year I made this drawing of a zebralope for our christmas cards.

I have no idea how to follow this up. 

This is not

This is not what a mostly-done candidacy looks like.

Yesterday I was depressed. But I think I wrote the best Candidacy sentence ever...

Go see artworks, write in journal. Make some shit. Maybe as part of the experiential paradigm:

Igloom

SoDA11 Exhibition John Curtin Gallery

Open until the 9th of December 

Monday to Friday 12-5pm and some Sundays

Igloo Contemplation #1

I think, today, maybe I will punch a hole in the igloo and then patch it up with some writing about the abandonment of aesthetics in an attempt to make it somewhat more boring and therefore even more indefensible. If you see it tonight - 6pm AEST at the John Curtin Gallery - I encourage you to do the same, or equivalent, or much worse. Help me walk the punched holes through the entire gallery space. Help me make lively the lifeless igloo sculpture. Help me tear that thing apart like it begs to be.

Later, we can meet in that hollow shell and do something closer to interesting and/or worthwhile. Perhaps, maybe even related to art.

Planning to make an igloo skeleton: Part 2

The igloo skeleton takes the form of a Buckminster Fuller geodesic dome made from PVC. This is based on Curt Drury's PVC greenhouse and the indispensable Desert Domes calculator.

Model making

12pcs 6m PVC

2V dome. Cut 35 at A: 1.12m and 30 at B: 1m 

Taped lengths to differentiate. Less guessing

John Hutchinson jig. Curve each end for flexibility

Debris from trimming ends

John Hutchinson jig. Holes drilled A: 1.06m apart, B: .94m apart

Secret Sculpture!

A sculpture which is secret

Some of The Gallery Times

These arms, they are useless. Stupid computer workings and reading books made them weak.

SOO WEAK!

Drawing transportation rig. Those drawings are all creased up, yellowing and covered in glitter AND IM NOT SORRY AT ALL

BOLLARD FAIL

More reflective practices

I'm going to make a book called: "I love George Egerton Warburton." God Bless you Catherine Jemma and your potential bikies gang hideout.
