This one reads like homage to Goethe...
This project brings to mind a lot of work by Johann Wolfgang v0n Goethe, my favorite author. (Germany 1749-1832)
The narrative begins with a white landscape upon which rests a (white exterior) house.
This location represents the blank canvas that is a human life. The house is the mind and the body. What you see is where you begin to approach the choices you will either face or run from in life.
Running:
The fantasy. Escapism. Make believe. Pretending.
When you run, choices are made for you.
The design is no longer yours.
The white, within your grasp.
Black and gray are "probabilities" forming and approaching.
Here, a probability is an all-encompassing notion of a thought forming, a choice approaching, a feeling.
A probability can wax and wane as it is focused on. The darker it gets, the closer it is to fruition. A grey is distant, not at the front of your mind or your priorities.
ONE RULE:
1. The answer to "Is that a...?" will always be
"If that's what you think it is and will it to be, it is!"
Probabilities are also gateways.
Test the waters, they might feel great.
Maybe, after all that there are 3 choices.
1. Accountability.
2. Escapism.
3. Don't participate at all.
Two things you can count on in life, depth and curtains...
(That was the saying, wasn't it?)
Curtain rod hooks made from a mold making legs for a bathtub.
Curtain rod is a section of acrylic Popsicle / cake-pop stick.
"A noose is just a safety release not that never releases safely!"
- Elaine Selene (~3 am)
No, really. I learned to make a noose because safety release knots used to secure horses to solid objects with non-breakable lead lines are just nooses... so they slide if the horse panics and pulls.
Twine: Sterile bakers twine from when I was a baker.
Thingamabob: This sits perfectly at the top of the wall WITHOUT adhesive. The back sits flush and balances out the weight of the front.
The part where the noose hangs on is a miniature cinder block (mold, epoxy)
The knot used to tie the twine to the cinder block is an arborist' swing knot.
