Usually projects take a long time, with deep processing and thinking, for this project they attempted to work in the complete opposite way, to work as quickly as possible, absolute intuition! (2 weeks from start to finish if memory serves).[maybe 4]
Some very beautiful works arose via this process.
Craig re-named our duo the Humble Seaman but we are also known as the Seaman and the tattered sail.
We tend to find things through process, moving through trying things out, abstracting things, adding new layers etc. until the final felt meaning is arrived at…
