Recently I speculated on how a text can alter the reading of an image. When are the roles swapped between primary and secondary? When does the driver swap seats?
See May 8 post, titled ‘Peripheral Core’.
In my deliberations about making a life here at Wamboin, I had imagined the land and all the changes wrought by our presence would remain primary. These blog posts would always remain supportive, ethereal, virtual.
It is possible though, just as the explanation of the ‘image’ can become the driver, so can the blog become foreground and the landscape can drop back. It is the blog which holds the more tangible substance. The slippery landscape is just mud and whimsy in comparison.
Even though the materiality of sculpture had drawn me, it may emerge that materiality is subversive and the hardware is happy to play second fiddle.
This notion is useful to the blog reader then, who does not need to witness, first hand, ‘Sculpture in The Sky’.
