So I started this piece of work “The restless thoughts of a tired and restless mind” during the last lockdown.
In many ways I felt it was unfinished as the idea was for the plastic to act as an attractor of the wind, for the head and pole to act as a stabiliser.
Thus the plastic became the metaphor for the the thoughts dancing and swirling in the wind. The only problem was it would not support itself for long as the balance was all out of whack.
Today after an hour of counselling a moment of clarity hit me, use the collected stones with holes through them as counter weights. As can be seen from the film it is a solution but as with everything during these times weather it stands or falls is always in the balance.
