Text from the info card for Idea Pool, Express Yourself Art Fest 2013
As an artist I am often asked where I get my inspiration. My most common response is “from things around me”, ideas spawn constantly from what I see, hear, read and experience. I have more ideas than I have time to realise them.
This build is a metaphor for that process. Ideas are spawned seemingly from no where, they fall into the water where they bounce around, collide and settle. Sometimes ideas emerge as images and are seen surrounding the pool. The images are sourced from the artist’s own instagram stream – a common contemporary form of self expression.
By the end of the 14 day Express Yourself Festival the ideas will have accumulated and there will be a pile of sparkling multicoloured globes filling the pond. A pile of concepts waiting for realisation.
How many ideas in 2 weeks? Stop a while and see
