If art has any point to me it is in my opinion a place to create something without expectations. To produce something free of struggle. It doesn’t mean it is easy to do but what is created shows that you are not silenced. It is a voice that you can use to create what Duchamp coined as the language of art. 

When I left art school I made a body of digital images that were lo-fi cinematic narrative pieces. The process of applying for a grant and having to organise a space and produce these potential works was something I avoided. Instead I produced aerosol works on walls and documented them.

This wasn’t necessarily an easy way out but another option that I considered to be a way of making work that I felt was pleasing. I have always wanted to make my aerosol work a serious endeavour that differentiates my practice. If anything I would be happy to exhibit the documentation which would mean at some stage I will right back where I started.

Other than that I can keep producing work that I feel reflects my interests rather than feeling like I have to pursue an art career trajectory. Australia is the worst place to do what I am doing but even if my efforts are in vain I can only hope that some documentation survives. The most important move I would have to make is getting work published but I feel like I need a bit more explorative work yet.
