studio\u00a0calls to me, boxes of magic magic magic.\u00a0 luckily i have 10 studio days all in a row coming right up.<\/p>\n
i imagine my studio in Making Mode, all separated into parts, two chairs and two tables pushed aside, leaving the large main area free for making… it’s the WORK, the work sneaks in here<\/em> to say what’s next: I have to reconfigure my studio, no longer need living room in there, put couch in front area of COURSE, turn deepest cell into Seeing area, pull furniture off making floor, regain my BODACIOUS making space, with metalworking benches for the tiny magic metals, the silver and copper, and how with a pinhead<\/em>\u00a0of solder I make a whole arena of light, and i think what must be possible for Universe with its cache of conductive metal. But let’s say the metal has to be bigger, then I’m set up to braze. Everything drives the Making.\u00a0 which is in service to the Seeing.\u00a0 The studio returns<\/em> oh kay.\u00a0 great idea.\u00a0 sounds like a lot of work, but yes.\u00a0 everything else is ready for that work to commence.<\/p>\n the work makes itself known, and its first need from me is space. \u00a0work substantiates in relationship to the space.\u00a0 how can the space and the work move back and forth, where is the light called, what is the unshown of the space, what does the space keep mostly for itself, its nudity, and then, how do the people see what is revealed, what is the path and what are the indicators?\u00a0 how to make the space(s) accommodating, readable, approachable, inhabitable, and traversible. and worth being in. people have to be invited to take every step. \u00a0the needs of the mind must be fulfilled: parameters, and the signs must be readable. \u00a0even Mystery has to be framed in order to stand out from the Infinite Unknown.<\/p>\n i need light meters to find out for myself basic questions i would be embarrassed to ask my beautiful scientist friends, like, what effect does reflection have on light intensity. and of course we have immediately to seek perfect reflection, since the characteristics of the reflecting material knock protons askew and change the reflected light into something more like itself.\u00a0 I would not<\/em> be embarrassed to ask admired scientists whether perfect reflection is possible.\u00a0 I would be embarrassed to ask them if light intensity decreases in the state-i-have-made-up-of perfect reflection.\u00a0 i have to be careful with my questioning, a chess of not looking dumb that I only sometimes win.<\/p>\n The sun reflecting off a piece of polished metal in the writing throws a bright triangle of light upwards. \u00a0i catch it midair on my hand, nothing but warmth and wonder.\u00a0 \u00a0i understand from the moment that i will reflect light upwards in the alley installation.\u00a0 maybe even with concave mirrors, can I treat the light like a stream of water, increasing its velocity with constriction, which is focus, which is the Russian word for magic.<\/p>\n the work has to begin in space,\u00a0huge now, like an outsized carp in a fancy restaurant fish tank, it has gained moxie, it isn’t shy.\u00a0 first things first, it shows me, coaxes me like I’m exploring something else, teaching, or painting, when I am shown a manta, a wave, All One,<\/p>\n i\u00a0listen for the ringing, so easily obscured by the clamber of the fancy and the wow.\u00a0 how to listen for the ringing, that’s another meditation, another lecture, and the format comes together all stacked and clickable, expressed like a wiki.\u00a0 the work doesn’t care, it must have everything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" studio\u00a0calls to me, boxes of magic magic magic.\u00a0 luckily i have 10 studio days all in a row coming right up. i imagine my studio in Making Mode, all separated into parts, two chairs and two tables pushed aside, leaving the large main area free for making… it’s the WORK, the work sneaks in here … Continue reading making<\/span>
