i went to NYC this weekend with the family.
i have this ongoing fascination with temporary, subjective, and anonymous art. what i do is i use objects from my surroundings to create interesting interpretations and spectacles. i do not sign, take pictures, or take credit for my artwork. i just create it, and let it be. my intention is to create temporary beauty, something that with time will disappear.to me, that which is fleeting and quietly beautiful is art. for example:
i went to the lower east side and bought about 40 broken wrist watches from a vendor. i dismantled them and placed the faces (all on the same time) in a pattern of decending size around three protruding rocks in central park. it formed sort of a winding pattern of bright silver around dull, ordinary rocks. when the sun started going down, the light reflected off the faces and it became sort of a firey, orange flaming snake. basically it was my interpretation of new yorks constant eye on time, the beat that it moves to and compromises to. then i jut go up and walked away and watched as people stopped, looked, touched and watched.
later i took about 60 chopsticks from a sushi place and whipped up a very strong batch of cherry kool-aid. using a water bottle, i dipped the end of the chopsticks for alternating amounts of time so that each stick was a slightly redder shade than the other. then i tied a string around each stick and strung them together in a pattern. then i strung it between two traffic cones and left it there. the next day i took a bus to see what had happened to it, and it was still there.
those are my fav pieces, i did about 10. i felt very satisfied after i did this, knowing them i left a piece of myself in NYC.
