Finding the thread

When I talked to Steve about my ideas he was able to immediately point out commonalities between the work that I did and the work I wanted to do coming year. In my work I'm "making the invisible visible" and I do this to "address a social issue". He advised me to do all my projects and built up a practice in this way. In the final show I would be presenting this practice. However these classifications are quite broad and therefore a lot of artists fall into it. I may be interested in a more specialized practice, but I do think Steve made an interesting observation by pointing out the elements that most of my work seem to have in common.

Evolution

You could say the following of my work: I make visible the conflicts that occur when our behavior, which is rooted in the need to cope and survive a prehistoric environment, is expressed in an environment created by technology.

This way of seeing my work has the huge advantage that I can incorporate every thing that I do in the final presentation even my skills in a monkey style martial art, whos movement sequences could be used to express our primitive origin.

A disadvantage is that it's quite a stretch of the evolution theory to include all my work and I'm not a scholar in evolution theory nor do I have the ambitions to become one in a year. There may be many instances where I trust upon my intuitions about the theory to connect my work with the theory. The problem is that such connections are probably not evident for everybody and this means that not everybody will perceive my work as a whole.

Questions for coming period

Aymeric pointed out to me that the final work should be perceived as a whole.
