Once again, Machine can’t see with its one glass eye, it can’t tell the simplest bifocal fact, like Grover’s “near” and “far.”   And it can’t feel the dome of the wire and knots and scrim over its wondering head, what a shame, not to be under a dome, sorry for Machine.

in progress: Day 3 of 6

This piece is already gorgeous and it will ‘splode the room when I illuminate it.  And then there will be a WALL OF GENTLY ROCKING circles of light! Small puddles of light, from little round optics, so I’m just SAYING.  Sweet jeez.  I am grateful for the opportunity to work in these fine rooms, I’m going to take the cement down with light and shadow.  Sharkeye whaleye screaming guitars, the ceiling is twenty feet tall, so the object can arc slowly and emit light like sight.

Muse is giving me a most extra delightful material to counterbalance the pieces, available in irregular, dusty chunks, in the bins and boxes on the bottom shelf of the plumbing wall, priced at almost nothing with hand torn lengths of masking tape and blue ball point pen, pig lead is one of the heaviest materials available at the hardware store, and it’s silver.  And I’m not going to eat it or freebase it, so I consider it safe compared to driving on the highway in the rain.  We are going to burst through the ceiling, Machine, in a bright blue celestial opening, that is, at the same time, we now know, the eye. The amplituhedron shows that its nature is to be more than one possibility of itself.

The piece needs a defining sculptural moment, for a good one in Matrix work, see Noyes piece over Piven door.  Sculpture’s job is to be an object in the world, partly.

I can’t get sucked into the page now, Machine, I have work to do.  It’s getting chilly in here – better to move around.  Seeing the piece… seeing the piece.  eyelids for round eyeballs, undersea style, and also the graphite drawings, really, It will take all the weekend evening hours, and I will give them, just to see the piece looking back at me, I am inundated with the sight of it, Machine, do you have smelling salts?
