Art by the kg

My sculpture is too big
Too unsellable
I need to dissect it
Cut it down into smaller parts
Cheap, wall hung parts
More financially and domestically digestible

I want to cut it up and weigh out the pieces
Labelling them and pricing them accordingly

There is no good outcome for its current form of existence
There is storage (expensive)
There is selling (sometimes)
There is abandonment (cruel)

I brought this creature into the world and now it’s here and
unwanted and that’s on me.
It’s my responsibility to turn it into something else.
To disseminate it
Spread it among the sympathetic witnesses
Do what you want with the pieces
I just want this burden (who I do love) to be gone.

Bodyness of Bodies

Coiling with paper mache. An attempt at Kilnless thriving.
Going bigger but with a longer time to set.
Less certainty. Potentially less longevity, arguably a good thing. Still quite scary though.

Patterns as protection. Layers of perception.
A vulnerability diversion tactic.

Welded welds on top of welds for thin unstable leg ends, dismembered and reappropriated from past instability.
A copper pole that the legs don’t notice.
They think they’re doing it all by themselves.
So used to the support that they don’t see it.
Silly legs.

Purple plane. A shadow of domesticity and inefficient planning.
Oddly hairless against the lived in version, naked in comparison
but god I love the smell of new carpet.
I’m so glad I don’t work in a carpet shop.

Cute feet. Small but wide, just like mine.
But more Ikea.

Body Feelings. Existence feelings.
Settled yet unstable feelings.
I’m sorry It’ll Take Me A While To Name You.
I hope that’s okay.
