Slow down

Have been thinking recently that I have maybe been overcomplicating the idea, and thinking of all the genius of simplicity that is seen in art- like Yves Klein, Duchamp, etc etc. So thinking about pulling back a little from the pressure that I have been putting on myself to create something incredible, complex etc. I recently thought about the idea of making something physical that accompanies a performance. The piece I make would still be interactive, but maybe not to the degree that I had originally been imagining. Also thinking about playing to my strengths, things I already know how to do- I already understand clay, and to a lesser degree, plaster carving, and I love and practice blind drawing, and have experimented with mobilising them before. So maybe I could explore the idea of combining these things with a movable sculpture, and bring in a performance piece which establishes the tone of my work- an experiential, meditative thing, which explores the dissolving of meaning. I feel really excited about this.
Another idea is to make some kind of instrument that is based on the inner ear, and either generates a selection of sounds or can be the origin of sound, an instrument of some kind. Could start messing around with clay and metal to make something like this.
