art Speak
I hate the way that artists always refer to everything as a 'space'. Used sparingly, the term is fine...... but when it's applied to hallways and bathrooms it gets a little old.

"This is my bathroom space; I use it to create!"

We have cubicles at uni. We're aloud to do anything we want with them. So, to have a little joke with myself, I've painted "a space" on one of the walls. No one else gets it of course, even if they did, I doubt they'd think it was funny. But that's not the point.

I'm already making digs and I've been there for less than two weeks. Art jargon annoys me, and my art helps me to get over it.


I'm feeling stupid today. Inarticulate. I'm sure it will pass. I'm just not feeling comfortable in my surroundings (yet); all my words are getting stuck somewhere between my brain and my mouth. Right now, if I were compile a 'Dictionary of Gingers Vocabulary' I think it would be about ten small pages long. O.K. Make that eight.

My life is a surrealist painting....
Either that, or Duchamps 'Bride Stripped Bare'.... All the better for having been broken
