Next moves

I have been finding it hard to get started, and make anything that i feel really contributes to the flow of project making instead of just experimenting and information gathering. It feels to me that a really important direction and resource for me to explore is casting- it has the potential for me to create my own kind of 'spiritual currency' in the form of coins or plates inspired by the Milagros or Tamatas, and also drawing inspiration from the Joss paper of Chinese spiritual practice. Numeracy seems to be an important feature in worship in a way; the shrines filled with many reproduced votives are symbolic of the community that makes up the devotees of the object of devotion. So many hands and personal desires and wishes touch those places and make their decadent mark. This also ties into my attraction to the concept of ritual as a process in itself. I like the idea of many small acts, many days of small acts, contributing to the creation of something opulant and beautiful. It's like blades of grass- one on its own is not so beautiful or impressive, but thousands make up a velvet landscape.
