Returning to Cecil... The physical dependance drives me cRaZy - mostly with music -  my mind telling me that there's more than enuf sound on the web and the non-physical elsewhere to keep my fascinations ringing for the eternities after the honeymoon, but as stuff goes out the back door in almost trapezoid strictness, the squall-fed label profiteers paratroop onto my front lawn and queue up at the front, BUT, it soon becomes "0"s and "1"s - same with words, documents, and bits of detritus found in the garden (like this old "Pop Rocks" wrapper - both sides): http://stasick.org/presubstitution%20pentacoccous%20wartflower.tif  http://stasick.org/you%20always%20end%20ere%20you%20begin.tif They become jumping off points for higher elements of creative work, but not necessarily in physical form. So, the question really becomes: To you, how important is the physicality of artwork - that you need to have it around you? It seems to me that these large scale works can't really be turned into "0"s and "1"s (except thru documentation, I suppose).  Do those of you who create physical artworks on a larger scale (canvas, sculpture) have the problem of having too much creat(ed/ive) work. around the studio? Yes, of course, you want to sell stuff, but what of the stuff that you can't sell? Is there a "past-it's-sell-by-date" at some time where it's documented then discarded?

I knew I had forgotten something; a more involving plot I was not even aware of this rule! um, opps. so much for that experiment eh? I have tried several different things nothing has worked of yet. Oh fiddlesticks, does anyone have any advice for poor me?
