The Deep Field
'Golden Eye' - an essay about looking at things that are really far away and the importance of this image.
Read it here http://lareviewofbooks.org/essay/golden-eye
"Gazing at the Deep Field is like mainlining the whole of time through the optic nerve, like counting by fingertip the tree rings of the universe."

Running
For the duration of this residency I aim to go for a run every day. Bishopbriggs is a suburb to the north of Glasgow, and the perfect landscape for running around and looking at gardens. It's a monoblock wonderland.
I'm interested in running for various reasons including the simplicity and repetition of it and it's a good time to think/not think. I enjoy reading and watching documentaries about running so now is the time to actually commit to actually doing it. I'll be using Map My Run because when you log your runs you can trace it on maps and it makes bar graphs. I could take runs that spell out words like Peter Stillman in 'The New York Trilogy'.
I would also like to find out more about Plato's academy, where the three disciplines were were philosophy, mathematics and gymnastics. I'd also like to get really good at the hula-hoop.

*Announcement*: As yet untitled self initiated residency in my back garden for the month of August
On Saturday I left Edinburgh where I lived for 5 years. For the next month I will be deciding what to do next and will be looking for art related opportunities, funding and residencies, as well as work in other areas. In order to have the time to focus on doing so, I have moved home to my parents house in Glasgow.
Intended Outcomes:
High on my priorities is seeking out an artist residency so that I can work in a new place, meet new people and have the time and headspace to research various avenues of thought and strengthen the connections between them. This would be invaluable to my practice and would lead to the production of new work and further exciting projects.
In the mean time, I propose a self initiated residency in my back garden for the month of August. I am in the fortuitous position where I have somewhere to stay rent free for a period of time, and a nice little summerhouse with plenty of windows, electricity, peace and quiet and wi-fi at my disposal. Plus, Glasgow and all it has to offer are just a 7 minute train journey away. What more could I ask for of a residency?
Proposal:
1. To develop research into PowerPoint, The New Space Race, plants & gardens and Soviet disco lights.
2. To continue collaborative work with the Information Delivery Service, of which I am a founding member.
3. To figure out what on Earth to do in September.
Intended Outcomes:
1. Document research on this blog over the residency period.
2. Clarify ideas in order to strengthen future residency proposals.
3. Make new work in some form. Create a web page of findings.
I am pleased to announce the commencement of this as yet untitled self initiated residency in my back garden was 11 minutes ago.
Goodnight.
Hazel
Goodnight.
