I will soon be leaving for New York. It was important to me that I be able to exercise the tools and vocabulary of this process I am developing before I leave. The work does not continue to grow and thrive on paper or in my head, it must be articulated and demonstrated with live bodies.
I decided to really challenge myself to conduct a very brief class series on The Six Viewpoints and Sculpture Process. It is in high contrast to the last project where I had atleast 4 hours to dedicate to one individual Viewpoint. Whereas with this series, I was only able to propose 3 Classes to cover all Six Viewpoints...which is roughly 2 hrs/2 Viewpoints; a nearly impossible task.
This work is mainly documented through photography because of it's performative nature making it an ephemeral form. Also, the process is not formulated to produce a marketable product. It is simply a way for anyone participating to celebrate in the process and open new avenues or break down creative blocks to support their own work. The complex and beautiful theory behind this method demands a practice for working with individual Viewpoints in isolation to allow a more fluid, flexible and dynamic structure to inform how we perceive our life and our art (work).
