Further

It feels really good to write. It is making me very happy. I am inspired by this electronic-style journal of my work. Not taking it too seriously but still pouring sincere energy into it when I do it. My work right now is in flux. I am waiting to see what emerges. I am very grateful for all the outlets I have. I have been focusing in almost exclusively on meditation and reality creation. I wonder if this notion will catch on in the collective conscious more and more and become a movement. I have given thought to simply attending to myself and working on my own personal relationship to the Universe but there always seems to be an element that has me saying but what about everyone else! It’s a part of my understanding. I am thought settling into a more comfortable pace with everything, especially in relation to work life balance. My art so to speak has become the living of my life itself. So the way that I practice is to simply live in the flow of extant reality. It is a big shift probably for some to understand art this way. To me it has become everything. I listen a lot more than create while considering listening as a kind of creation. I listen to books on tape all day long and podcasts. A lot of it is about society and culture and also self help. I see a lot of possibility in reading that is probably why I am becoming a librarian and/or otherwise an information professional. It is not in the place of being an artist. It actually is me being a life artist. I have to even remind myself of that sometimes. But that is what it is. I am delving into the reality of which I am a part and allowing for that inclusion to be the art that I practice and respond to. There is no proper exhibition to speak of in this way. The writing and videos I do are a kind of documentation that I share, my website also. But these are secondary. They are reporting what is happening in the realtime reality flow. I have done these blog posts for years now off and on. It is always good for galvanizing the thoughts into actions that I have been contemplating as it gives it a narrative thread through and through. To truly dedicate your life to the art of life is a shift in understanding. It places the emphasis on the now rather than the futurity and site specific nature of a work displayed. Granted the now is experienced in the making of many an art object. This relationship should be explored further.
