accumulate

Posted by Jon Adams, Tuesday 25th May, 2010

An artwork by Jon Adams. A collection of words all ending in ate and sewn together in a long line. Part of an exhibition called collect at the university of portsmouth june 2010

We all accumulate, we all collect, we are all the result of what we gather along the way. For some of us this is a 'rucksac' of rocks we carry on our back, heavy with learnt experiences. We can loose some depending on who we meet but some people give us more. I dont like using lables but could if I got each out in turn tell you where it came from and who gave it me.

These I use to weave into my work as an artist, I also still stay unlabled,I am not determined by them but by the experiences I have been through. Looking at others who are 'ruled' by names, lables and descriptions dismays me. Sure we have to remember and give the past its due - but we are not defined by what we have had done to us but by what 'we do now'.
