The Future Isn't What It Used to Be

When I first started posting images to this blog toward the end of 2006, I quickly realized its potential for sharing images of studio work within a public situation. I began to think of it as a visual journal of my studio; I still do. Now, however, five years later, the unwieldiness of the visual record (a lot has happened) and the limitations of a web log as form has prompted me to reconsider how best to document/share work that increasingly exceeds the ability of photo/video to capture it.

I am tempted to reorganize/edit, but I refrain in order to maintain some character of this blog's original intent--a running, public visual record of my work. While the blog entry format suggests linearity, the actual unfolding of the work has developed according to other schemes where parts are interconnected according to other threads--perhaps one of the main inquiries of the work. Sometimes the second thing happens first and vice versa. Perhaps the best way to think about this dilemma is that there are many access points with no privileged point of entry. Rather, they are more like tethers or placeholders.
