COMMISSIONS
BESPOKE WORK FOR SOMETHING CONSEQUENTIAL YOU WANT TO CHANGE, CREATE OR BRING TO LIFE.
A private commission with Chandra Crystal Recchi
YOU BRING,
THE WHOLE THING.
The practical problem.
The strange instinct.
The ambition.
The doubt.
The part you cannot quite explain without sounding slightly mad (this is usually when it starts getting interesting).
the shape
I SHAPE THE WORK AROUND WHAT IT ACTUALLY NEEDS.
Strategy.
Research.
People.
Place.
Culture.
Ritual.
A whiteboard.
A dinner.
A walk.
A room.
A completely different point of view.
The work can look practical.
It can also look nothing like work.
Sometimes we pull the whole thing apart.
Sometimes we realise the problem was never the problem.
no polite return to reality
SOMETHING HAS TO MOVE.
The point is not to have a fascinating conversation and then return politely to your old reality.
Something has to move.
A decision.
A direction.
A concept.
A new chapter.
A first version of something that did not exist before.
I take on a small number at a time.
