reflection. Den 2 and 3 have a sense of emptiness and nothingness (in a negative sense because this was not intentional)
why. can tell that they havent been inhabited or are unhabitable for humans. insect & rat habitat. disconnection and isolation from den was not the intention
suggestions for change. human inhabiting space and changing space, ergonomically, comfortability, uncomfortability, spacial awareness
test. studio den was rather inviting to escape the hum drum...
hypothesis. have the space inhabited and once created (by me), leave for change by the inhabitant(s)

Black Flag game
I am a participant
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=8436101691&ref=ts
finding this very motivational even though it borders on AP (advanced procrastination)... yes another essay to write, "outline your personal philosophy that underpins your work that takes into account current relevant art debates" blah blah BLACK FLAG BLACK FLAG
BLACK FLAG !
....(later in the day...________
I really wanted to flag the back of a couple of community police officers.. hearing mothers voice in my head, "amy..im worried youre getting too passionate in the subversive again.."
this is not my art as this wasnt the initial intention or my idea. Intention was predetermined by the creator of the game, my national diploma lecturer Alex Pearl. Is this Alex's art or is it art..from what I know, I'd assume that this is a free project that belongs to nobody/everyone.. or better still, has abandoned notions of materialistic authorship whilst parodying ownership... ? ... . . . . . . . ? . . .
This mini project has given me some freedom and perspective to reflect on my (art) values and 'personal philosophy' and its also given me the most motivation i've had in a while.

searching for something new? or no(t)(w) ?
i came across this colchester lecturers work... clair isles, her photog and inst is kinda similar to what im doing/have just done. seeing documentation of her work made me feel odd. i like it. the association and relating yet total distance and alienation from her images, theres an aesthetic thats really similar but somethings not similar..if only i knew what.
i like the contradictions/juxtaposition it makes me feel and dont think i need to know what
(2 weeks later..now.i.know... its uninhabited somewhat ghostly.. still&dead like my dens 2&3..
plan..
go back to den 2 site and attempt to make habitable
-risks> rats, mice, infectious diseases, broken glass, poaching land, littering private land, nettle stings, massive mutated spiders and slugs
-hypothesis> do it anyway.)

Constructing and deconstructing. Fake Den 2
the sign, signifier, signified
making and unmaking
putting on and taking off
putting on
backwards
taking off
putting on. 100 photos of putting on...10 second animation.. tripod/still camera position blutakc and tape in a tree!!!!!
making 100 changes.. outside natural light will change, things i cant alter, things that happen
some might include manipulating the space only a minute fraction of the 10 seconds..might just be weather change and putting a bit of fabric up
10 seconds of PUTTING-ON stop animation
followed by the same again but backwards..backwards ..ongoing video evolving the documenting manipulating the documenting (film deescalates the importance of photograph as object, putting more emphasis on the action..draw the line here or continue to film timelapse of what happens to den after its creation
-problems> deviating from intention into too much focus on documentation
-solution> ask others to be involved
-hypothesis> the documenting is tertiary to the work and of little proportional importance. just take a photo)
questions from a viewer.>did the installation/den/space get taken down or did it stay? were the photos documenting putting it up or taking it down???
I WALKED 10 MINUTES TO THE SITE TODAY I WALKED BACKWARDS WITH THE OCCASIONAL GLANCE BEHIND WALKING BACKWARDS seeing youre footsteps and un-footprints after youve made them. something about cycles and change and seasons and not knowing..
