1. starting, not starting.

Sarah Tutt 2 years ago

A new project is a negotiation - between starting and continuing, between knowing and not knowing. It is a push to the future and a pull from the past, a holding on and a letting go. My practice is process led. The path of a new project is made in response to the new terrain. The oscillation between the knowing and the not knowing is unpredictable...

What I know is that I wish to build upon two taxonomies of my practice – Object Drawings and Writing Drawings, working with paper and porcelain, ink and wire.

My approach will be to attune myself to the qualities of time, gesture and repetition that arrive from working with these materials. I will see how we perform together and play these findings back into the materials as formal instructions. In some small part these instructions are already preconceived – drawn from previous explorations. That is the pull.  But in the most part all is unknown…

There is only plot in retrospect.
