Two Week Life Practice 2010
I decided I would make a small weaving on a frame loom every day. The idea was that the frame would be easily transportable, so that I could work on it everywhere, and small so that I would be able to make one weaving each day. The success of this is difficult to judge. It turned out to be much more difficult to make one weaving a day than I had anticipated. I continued to be a busy student with classes and other responsibilities and activities in my daily life and did not end up making fourteen weavings.
However, the task was about making. This experience made me think about what I do day-to-day and reconsider the notion that I am not making things. Almost every day I am making something as a part of my life practice – food, bikes, relationships, art, my bed, etc. These things are all important aspects of the life-practice that I have and it is important to value them and contextualize them in that way.
