Making it real
Woah!... the days are getting crisp. Just spent the weekend at the cottage. trying to finish off a third bedroom. It is nice to turn from tablets and screens to plaster and sand paper for a change. The room is pretty well done now, just needs painting and something covering the floor. This weekend I built a box to hide the electircial panel. There is something immensely satisfying about using tools to create something real. some edifice (even if it is only a box). The other work I do is so ephemeral I don’t think it is real. It is only real when it gets printed and you walk past a poster of it as you enter a store or drive past a billboard with the image on it. So, there is a definite pleasure in creating something real, something you can grab on to.
