It seems to bring together some thoughts I've had about my recent work with work I plan on doing with my thesis idea of "playing in the face of Death, Devastation, Damage and Divorce" - the 4 D's.
I wrote this status update on my facebook page: Michael Conti is facing the book, and it's not that interesting of a quote so I'll spare you that. I find this list much more interesting: obstruction, resistance, absurdity, repetition, obsession, labor intensity, absolute, relative, structure, duration, endurance, meaning, existence, catharsis, correlation - and this question: What does one thing have to do with the other?
Something about that list that I compiled from my notes from last Art Institute of Boston residency gets me going. I think that if you put all those words in a circle with the word play at the center, that would be what my art is about.
I have some ideas that involve hockey, playing in liquid water, underwater, on the other side of the ice, and on vertical ice. I want to make a paddle board puck and hockey stick, and juggle hockey pucks and sawed off stick. This is what fine art is all about.
