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.

On top of my Jet 12"x20" lathe here are all the little turning blanks I got out of the leftover of the log I tried to resaw months ago. I was able to clean away all the bark and split pieces (below lathe), and get something useful out of the log at last.

Augustine. A pile of mouldy potatoes? Let's make a font!
a small boy watched and studied because For a moment their hearts had been caged , and I remembered Suddenly "Life is meant to lived."
From the second batch - another chunk of European olive - I was able to harvest quite a number of beautiful little turning blanks.
"Here are more of those Fun-to-Bake, Fun-to-Cut-Up cakes... made with wonderful Baker's Angel Flake..."
A big stack of sealed bottle stopper and pen turning blanks in European olive, sealed in Anchorseal, ready for many months drying out before being turned on the lathe.
I finally got a chainsaw. It's a 16" electric Homelite from Home Depot for $80. I had wanted the 14" for $50, but they were out of it, and I wanted to cut these up the next day, so I splurged on 2 more inches of bar. It works fine, and is very easy to maintain.
Some sections of these Eucalyptus logs and branches were bright yellow inside, and these were wonderfully fragrant. They made me think of lemon cake. I'm amazed at all the scents I've been finding in these things. They're quite strong.
Day 45-Now I am getting into the shirts that I wore more frequently when I lived outside of home.
This one I dont remember when I got it but I like it a lot. Coming from an area in Texas where we have a lot of snakes, this one appeals to me. I know its a bit ghastly and I wouldnt harm a snake unless it as threatening me or in extenuating circumstances...anyway, its a cool shirt because of the creativity involved.
I like scissors as well.
AND, it freaks out my Nana so its doing it job...:)
I snuck back after work trying not to disrupt anyone. I just wanted to get a shot or two of the yard. This is how well I cleaned it up. I quickly trimmed off the smallest (<2") branches and threw them in a pile by the road - at left here. This cleared the way tremendously for me to casually stroll right up to each larger branch that I wanted, and it was quick work with most being 4" or under. I also pulled the scraggly stuff out of her Agapanthus bed so she could get those looking nice again. She was very happy that I did this, as she's been looking at this for a day or two, and this since I went at it earlier this day. I actually couldn't believe I got the yard basically entirely cleaned up. She just needs someone to rake up the little twigs that litter the far half of the lawn here.
