Becoming Sausage


Not put off by fear of OCD I post a becoming sausage. But you must take this with a pinch of salt. So Kate - engagement - if we define something or even bring it into existence by measuring it does your idea of the body as scale represent a sort of soft measurement system? If this is the case is this an exploration of space and our personal relationship to it through scale. Is there a connection between the personal relationship to a site and the a bit of what you fancy methodological approach to creating or perhaps defining a library of measures. On a higher level is the project saying something about the personal and the external and giving back control of measurment to it's funtion rather than an external established set of rules.

an imagined drawn breakfast has become, you'll be pleased to know, number one of the two drawings are complete, ive tried photoing and looks shit, so havent bothered to post up, but i will hand it over in november
and in answer to the last part of your question - yes
in response to the first - not sure its soft , the body is the basis of our understanding and connection with the world, its what we have histroical based all measurements on. , but yes not offical or standardised if thats wht you mean
the library of measures is definately to do with place not site. the place being the farm, and im not sure i get the sense of your bit of what you fancy as this makes it sound not serious , its more to do with trying to document landscape and our connection to it. we try and have to date wthin a farming context always used measures that are always connected to the body, sight, work. Also i worry if i dont remember these things they will be lost and then i wont know what im doing so its practical aswell as aesthetic.
