Creating an almost non-activity, I want you to ask yourself - 'what is going on here?' - 'where is the focus?'. I'm enjoying making more with less, how a simply rolled sheet of coloured paper, held in place by masking tape, can perform the role of a beacon, a warning for current activity and a marker of territory. Through these cones a block of polystyrene is called to our attention but it offers nothing back, a material associated with the protection of our object in focus, the object of 'worth'. If we consider the white block a plinth of sorts then we are displayed a small hand constructed balsa structure. This has clearly had the most time invested in its making, does this establish it as our 'object of focus', a sort of time = worth concept. We must not forget though that the object itself is recognised as a tool ( a little too David Ersser maybe? ) and this tool is performing its job upon our block, by seemingly clamping two smaller blocks together surely projecting the focus back onto it.
