I have come up with at least 10 new art ideas since I have been in Hanoi. So, what right do I have to complain? Of course, none of them are simple, easy or straight forward and most, if not all, require technology which haven't really used since I was beaten down in grad school. I have really had a shift since I've been here. That shift actually happened fairly early on. A Thai artist, Joe, took me to galleries in Bangkok which started my thinking about specific spaces. For the past few years, I have been making site specific ephemeral sculptures. Prior to that, I was making 2D work. So when I found myself in specific gallery spaces, I had to think differently incorporating my current art interests. From that, installations enhanced by technology naturally flowed. Then, when I got to Hanoi, I found that I was still thinking in terms of installation indoors. In Chiang Mai, the amount of English language, I was exposed to was very limited so I was like a sponge just taking in the surroundings. However, in Hanoi, there are a number of places that offer lectures on various topics as well as art shows. Some of which had a sustainable architecture component. I found this to be reminder of my other interests which again pushed forth ideas. So, I am not making hardly any art right now. I am preparing proposals, and shooting video footage. In September, I go to India. There I will be in environment to make outdoor pieces again.
