Connected knowing dialogue based on personal experience.
Just came back from lecture by a visiting researcher Carole Gray on issues of research in Fine Art.
“She will give a presentation on her current research (a collaboration with colleague Gordon Burnett) - 'Making Sense' In this research the question - 'what can be known by making that could not be known by any other means?' is posed. For further information see

It made me think a lot about the work that we are making at the moment. The process that we use governed by our distance and relationship, and how by working collaboratively we use it as a way and means to aid ourselves and question our own work. I hope that makes sense but it seems that our new work is almost a experience of our own personal concerns and insecurities supported by one another in order to act as protective almost nurturing realm for us to make work. Through the whole lecture I was thinking about the conversation we recorded about what we thought our work and relationship was about, and I think that is a key work that might be the starting point or anchor for the work that has come after that conversation. I think the relationship that we have with its distance and delayed time allows us both the space to process what has happened and what is yet to come…And this is a really good thing, there is no need to rush this process and get the work out because the process seems to be a this bigger than the work. For me that is and I think it is the same for you?
