Play, create, collapse.

Ian Wright is something I aspire to be... His entire work ethic appears to be based on playfulness, lack of technology skills, discovering results/visual effects by accident and a constant strive to push the work into a new arena.



I want his life. Perhaps I'll befriend him. Quite fancy some time in New York. He has an air of success. The website doesn't exactly imply this by any means. Perhaps it is simply my own personal reaction to these works. It is almost hard for me to comprehend who would not like it. Again, simplicity, creating a face from badges of faces. The literal thinking. I also like the above image. 'If you could do anything tomorrow- what would it be?' Made of beads. tremulous. Fully lacking in permanence. Pain staking. RESPECT for the effort behind these works. I should maybe consider teaching myself to acquire better levels of patience. And then my crucial talent of wonder will be born.
