Insane Art and Me?
... inside my head, and I call them all friends, thinking of bobby fisher ,....he lost his mind because of his genius and his passion for the game of chess, these things make us obsessive and why have we forgotten to teach about intense focus? Teach them to get lost in the thing we call life, loose yourself and fear not insanity it is our biggest question...why what and where... yet this is the closest thing to god, our god our truth and our madness that proves the world not to be really real, it cannot be.
Philosophy is not a single idea it is all ideas, god is not one he is all and many and we cannot really know what that means unless we loose ourselves,...where did sid go?

This is our Future! wow how wonderful all about the money!
Yea this is the future I want to live in, the good guys and the bad guys now which one are you?
Seems to me that there is a turn around for the youth of today knowing what is morally correct(right) and what is ethically(left) wrong, how do we teach kids today if we have a biased ideology and think that it is wrong to steal. Well how about the robin hood scenario? is that really stealing? and why is that such a horrible thing to steal from people with bankrolls of cash? I know the answers and I do act morally responsible but what about the future and if it all goes pear shaped some day these skills may be the great equalliser....what do you think?

Art and Engineering
This is the Nambour Weekly article that covered the collaboration of The Juggler, a 3 meter sculpture combining both wood and metal and brought together students skills in manual arts who worked with me on a journey of exploring art and the strangely different art process compared to the specifications and skill building exercises involved in Manual Arts practices. The students were immersed in the process of art as I brought in drawings and paintings that I did in my studio during the discovery of The Juggler.
This is something I am interested in taking to schools and challenging the students to think alternatively to the direct route of outcome based learning through lateral thinking processes. The process of making art and combining objects through a constructivist method is exciting. The work is potentially the most effective way of introducing math science technology and any discipline , philosophy is the big ticket if the schools open up to the idea...will be involved in the quest for potential clients, schools and educators interested. Stay tuned.
