toni in the city

This was the first time that I began with such a particular vision in mind, and actually tried to get reality to correspond with my fantasy. What came out was fundamentally different from what I had imagined.

Part of the difference was technical. I wasn't getting all the factors of light, movement and distance co-ordinated quickly enough. The intensity and oddness of doing something different in public made me distracted. There was so much visual information to process.

I want to keep doing this - having a strong idea to start, and then learning in the process of reaching for it. Toni has a sense of what I want to capture, and we are going to try again in a slightly different setting.

The wonderful part was the unexpected - her ability to relate to sculpture through yoga. The light in commerce court was too flat to fully capture the wonder of it. What she did opened new ideas.

I need to learn to focus in action, with the chaos of life around me. How difficult that has always been for me!
