Pointfulness

Well, today being the first day of the year and all - I joined many in the great endeavour of starting a project. It is sort-of a two year project split into 'quadrants' (as I have so fancily called them). Ergo, eight quadrants of three - month projects. The first installation is the hands/project hands/two hands project, the idea came from Jules - after I bugged her for ideas on Facebook chat. It's basically documentation of my hands over a span of three months.

I haven't filled up the next seven spaces, but I'm hoping that it'll come eventually.

Every time I do a project, people always ask me why exactly I'm putting so much time and effort into something which won't get me credits or seem to benefit me in any way. The big secret is that I don't really have a reason for actually constantly doing projects. I have no idea why they're so fun. Maybe they're self fulfilling and make me a better person, as well as being a giant learning curve. It's just, nice (sorry) to have some kind of side dish in one's life that you can pick at. They always taste better than the main.

Happy New Year. Twothousandandeleven is quite the mouthful to say.
