Publication
Modern Painters . starts in.. looking in april 2008 edition..
the start. Peter Fuller in 1987.. John Ruskin’s book Modern Painters...
look at page 24 of the one that april i bought in the tate britain.
Recently I’ve been reading it.. introduced by dave hyde one of the tutors on my foundation course, enjoyed flicking through the several issues in the college library with friends on a few occasions. Broad nature of the publication.. it’s in a language I can understand.
Adverts I really like.. I almost booked a ticket to Berlin due to one of them.
Makes me go to shows. Influential to me.
The Matthew collings .. style diary part i like.. kind of reminds me of how i would like to be able to write. . not sure if i’m a fan but enjoy reading it.. some of the points i become quite engaged in and sometimes frustrated with .
Format. Moving changing nature. Set myself the difficult task

aaargh I don’t like it very much the reasons perhaps the bigger paintings make me angry and i can’t feel much from it. The little ones rock my boat a bit better. I think i almost got an explanation out of myself. I think it's because the little ones have all the freshness of the idea in it. The larger ones are just an assemblage to make a pretty postcard for ARt and money. I know that is what has to be done and i appreciate it. It just makes me not like the pictures.
I don’t like writing about things because it makes me feel uncomfortable reading it back to myself.

the looking thing again muse over be selective of one thing not just my whole mind. today was the first time i have felt for a long time. nothing material. looking for holes that don’t exist. existance. lisa doesn’t like philosophy. there’s other things to think about instead of wasting time on things that don’t matter. it was something like that she said. what is looking at things in the mind. it is imagery. i think i said that it doesn’t have dimensions could it . so drunk i could feel my face. that bit about face was not me , just someting that someone i think nick said. he was quoting someone else. stir with nick . “it’s all air” dirty. dotty ditty. ditz. dicks. dixon,. too hot with my jacket on . too cold otherwise. i didn’t want to say too cold without a jacket because that would have . finnish sentences?immigration?noNO. lisa affects an english accent. askew ask you. ass grew some stuArt

Another try at writing about modern painters and looking;
my own what i am thinking about is trying to see the difference or similarity of the looking. Personally I’ve only been looking and observing since the start of foundation .. life drawing one really has to look intently closely at what there is going on. lights and darks. shape and form within form. drawing is looking. looking with the eyes mind minds eyee tracing the motions your brain moves eyes to the hand. .. but it’s not just the eyes that get the drawing going . it’s the atmoshphere, smells pressure how hungry one feels anxiety.density of people humidity sounds music position in the room . who is looking at you and how. so many factors. . what.. looking is with all your senses and thought.
'Medium' conversations with Alison Gill
'Artist' a philosophy

'medium' 23rd/24th April2008
The time I was asleep I was woken by steph and rosie at my door Wednesday 23rd april 2008. Can I sort out the photos , they could be fallen to the floor. Steve and me and viv all like the tampon tree suvi made. I sat jennifer’s disposal bag atop the object which found its way into a book of suvi. I had some water in luci’s glass. Lambie people all say that yasmins work is like. Brendan came round looking at the spaces and tells us about how we are all coherent and lift from each other. I know that it is true. It was yesterday then that I heard anything about an opinion on a difference between drawing and painting. I don’t think i was particularly listening hard or intently as i cannot remember much .. maria said about painting being a kind of fluid action with something. I want water. water wants. we are water. Michael is to meet a friend in the bar. the bar . the bar subar. sue bar bar am david. i missed. we didn’t have to run faster than time. wolf turbo tardis .
Suvi said it was good she liked the fact that people could be thinking and expecting something huge and grand. people thought i was going to take ;my clothes off . It shocked them that i wasn’t.
I’ve been happy all day and no alcohol. talked to claire and a different claire was oxford. She text me as i saw 1213 wetherspoon southgate. It’s hard to explain to people briefly what it is all about. keith wants more discourse as does michael. Brendon says he could see the humour in it. Someone else says that it was brave.. perhpaps marcus said that. It is quite the scary..if you look over there .. people also look over there or was it at you.? the first time that i planned to do it i had to make him decide what time it was.. part of it i think... the love.. him and his work to influence time of mine. I think i did it 4 times. the first one was when I led anne to my work she was asking if it was a performance.. i told her that i didn’t know what a performance was and that i would be thinking it great if she says that was it.. a technical term? yes she says that is a technical term for it> while it happened i talked to jarreettt and talked about his shoes.>On later inspection he didn’t realise that this was the thing that was the work. .. that is good. the idea is that people wear and do things that are not always obvious all the time with intention and reason for particular purposes. Perhaps I just wanted to get changed. It was more than that but it is great to be able to just get changed and then try and construct a silly analogy. my favourite bits were when maria was adament that she put her boyfriend’s dad’s towel (which was red blue and green and arranged beautifully in the shape of my outline that was already on the floor) away and out of sight.. It wasn’t when I found it. . so I drew round it and took a phhotograph. charlie and simon and ashleigh were yellow.
woody allen filme... love and ... is keith talking about love and death. He mentioned the allen person. love and wall for me my title . wall could sound like war . i liked that when i thought of it.
'Medium' 19th April2008
Today I lay on a floor cold and grey and it is so noisy. I think and link in my head so fast that I can’t keep up. My brain cannot decide how best to present itself art. Jenny helps me buy an orange. I put sugar in the relentless at the non smoking area which has a sign that says smoking area. Froth. I don’t remember particularly listening look attentively when Tom Dumas spoke to Natasha but when neither of them knew what was said I could quote it apart from one word that when tom said.. ‘apart from one word’ i could instantly recall what it was. I can’t now though. Interested this is how I am at the ways of looking observation.i’m

We’re going to buy some fish.
The lady mrs banks made me feel sad. she seems all left.
the man and men fly in a kite fashion. the ones who are mad are the ones who are quiet and cannot see very far. but conversely the ones who show the real emotions are portrayed and .blah blah as the ones without. mr banks. ..’you don’t exist’ “kindly do not try to cloud the issue with facts.” Parts of the way the characters are treated make me laugh and feel sad. Admiral Boom does his business and nobody seems to mind. So surreal that nobody notices, perhaps they just think him mad and walk on by. I laughed when I saw a recent dr who.. the one in the latest 4th series , episode 2 where Donna and The Doctor help hold items and objects in place during the shaking.. I thought it a reference to Mary Poppins and the shakiness produced by the gun of Boom.
Kite shape with his legs in the bank when he understand the smith and woodlen leg joke. what’s the name of the other one? high. high on substance? life. death!

blue and white. the lady didn’t like our late night wine bar. I think i better explain that better.. The collective travelled down the hill in Bath, creating music with harmonica and recorder. Continue to relate to each other . sounds. we based one on Tom Taylor and how he loves late night wine bars. We did some depending on how our feet were moving. The mind gets lost and engulfed with the feelings and relations between the players and we seemed to glide through the city without stopping progressing through packed roads and then stop. A lady wants to buy Claire's hat we made them all smile. that is the art. . then to M&S . The walk around continue to lose yourself in the music expression. Change the music reacting to the happy responses. a snake of children clapping and dancing behind us. we don't know where we will go. I was a little unsure about going round the store again as one of the young ones suggested but we did anyway. They tried to give money to the music makers but that was not required. small children smiles . Waitrose was really great because the staff all laughed and smile so our job was done.Irony followed.. we got to the victoria art gallery foyer and the lady said "do you mind not doing that in here please" I couldn't keep a straight face. we thought it would be THe place for artistic expression.. an art gallery. we wouldn't evn be there long. Sound.. sound using it to respond to the area. launderette. blue launderette and white. Visual and verbal french literature. culture are you nature yet? No. we had a queue of children behind us in waitrose. that is art. not art on my walls. the being. /Collaborations of friends and jazz. Speed dating. The outcomes of talk were that we talked. I talked and that was fun. confidence.
Talked to suvi about paint 1.77 from atlantis algate east. gouache. I like the fact that temporary could be of the results, you get it wet and it runs.
