A map I've added all sorts of elements elements to, kinda playing with the scale...
You'd need to zoom in a bit to see the details and read the cut-up poem-thingy...
The tiny pile at left is what I cleaned up, limbs cleared of twigs and greenery in the foreground. The huge pile in the background is still to-do.
We bought an old house so it has it's eyesores, but the kitchen is otherwise in pretty good shape. It will be a while until we get around to fixing it up, so why not just make the eyesores into some temporary fun?

I was supposed to write an essay based on the idea of Francis Alys' Guards (2004), but somehow didn't write an essay at all and got very carried away. It went from a critical look at the place of walking in modern art to attempting to dissolve all logical meaning entirely. Initially a snide piss-take, I wrote a ludicrous non-story about the City of London and its inhabitants. After that the form of the essay went out of the window too. A fuller explanation and the complete PDFs can be found goo.gl/WdhlCg.
The "Cut up" of writing was pioneered by Dadaists and later used by Beat Generation poets. I didn't manipulate individual lines or letters but instead used chunks of text and sewed them back together to turn the written text into something more visual and dissolve meaning even further.

The first few limbs from which I cut all greenery and twigs make a rather meager pile. I'm starting to feel the weight of how much there is to cut here. These few small pieces took 15 minutes or so to clean up.
Some fun times we have together in the pool. Here are my older two children playing together in the pool.

Between this photo and the last one - pre-sealing - I had a minor tragedy. Long story short, I tripped and spilled my entire bucket of anchorseal on the floor.
I was able to mop it back up by laying a plywood board flat on the puddle, then flipping it over and skimming the film off the board back into the bucket. This kept the dirt from the floor under the puddle from entering the mix, and I got about 3" back into the empty 2-gallon pail, enough to seal these. What a mess.
