So Monday's count was in excess of 500...560 to be precise.
Tuesday's count was 460.
Today's count came to 540.....and that is how it shall remain...no more clay and today was the deadline for production as I need the clay to dry off before it is to be installed in the woods on Friday.

I have been concerned by the work becoming damaged in the woodlands and therefore rendered it useless before that process was given an opportunity to commence. However, listening to Carl's talk yesterday (Carl Slater, Director of KARST Plymouth) helped me to realise that this doesn't have to mean the end to this work and that documentation of the work itself can be strong as a piece in itself. Also, what is to remain at the end of the event has a validity in its own right. Carl has helped me realise a confidence in allowing this to occur. This can be further explored...be it pellets or mush!

The process has been relevant to this work. The methods of process and the learning that has come to be as a result of a happening process. A system has been developed to assist in the progress of the work as there has been a tight deadline to meet. However, research has allowed me to discover Boetti whose works related to time wastage and order and disorder. http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/exhibition/alighiero-boetti-game-plan.

There are no decisions now as to how to take this work on further...initially I intended on the gathered video footage but now I shall wait to see what happens with the pellets.
