I once heard of an artist who painted a nice picture then hung the paint rag on the wall. I can't paint so I just skipped the first part. |

Architecture can be so frustrating!!!!!
Clients with budgets
Planners with local plans
Engineers with calculators
Building control officers with regulations
Health and safety officers with method statements
Contractors with questions
All, it seems with one aim in mind - to frustrate the poor architect in his honest quest for form, function and originality. But please don't let me get on my soapbox!
Hence the beauty of "ART".
NO Clients
NO Planners
NO Engineers
NO Building Control Officers
NO Health and Safety Executive
NO Contractors
Just you, your materials and your imagination. You don't even have to be "good". You don't even have to attempt to answer the question "But is it art?"
Just willing to take risks and do as you feel.
Firstly, I don't own a cat, secondly, I do own a pile junk under my desk waiting to be transformed into "ART".
The architect .................. said "Ask a brick what it wants to be."
You can ask the same question of a pile of wood scraps, a tube of glue and a pot of paint. It doesn't have to be anything special, just the offcuts from odd jobs around the house.
One day I shall engage that pile of junk under my desk in conversation again and see what it wants to be this time.
In the meantime feel free to browse the Junkalogue.
