“The world, the real is not an object. It is a process.” – John Cage, For the Birds
Charles Livingston Studio
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
When a series of similar forms accumulate or accrete they construct more complex patterns. This
accumulation, a significant displacement of space is a process equating and most often exceeding
the sum total of the individual parts.
The process of accretion is located in simple day to day activities that require a series of repeatable
tasks in order to form tangible and functional products or services. Tasks are repeated but never
executed the same way twice, a signature of our unique and individual identities. The results are
documents (the evidence) of conjoining and accumulating processes that accentuate the
significance of interconnection.
A process or act of making can attain ritual and spiritual status. Concentrated on a singular activity
over an extended period of time processes can trigger meditative experiences. An alternative or
heightened sense of awareness ascertains the significance of forms on levels outside conditioned
perceptions. Attention shifts from the action and physical attributes of the material to the unoccupied
physical and temporal spaces that appear between forms or sounds or other sensory data.
Becoming aware of and locating my self in what is not present or the spaces between causes a
perceptual shift in how I view the world. Once a project reaches its predetermined end presentation
becomes a viable concern as it is an extension of the process, an opportunity to share and possibly
stimulate a similar awareness within not only the viewer but experiencer.
An engagement with any repeated action for any duration is an opportunity to comprehend and
reconsider the ideas and activities that underlie and construct our realities.
