“The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.”
Plutarch
This beach performance and installation and sculpture involves a simple plaster building structure on a trestle table at the beach with the ocean behind it in the shot.
The second shot is me holding the sculpture in casual clothing with the ocean behind me.
The third shot is the sculpture on the sand not far from the ocean shore.
I made the sculpture on a trestle table in my apartment living room as a prop to put my smart tv on opposite my bed as it was too big for my wooden dresser.
I called it High IQ as it was made to prop up a smart tv.
“The cure for anything is saltwater: sweat, tears, or the sea”
Isak Dinesen
I like this quote about the ocean which is often in the background of my beach shoots. Sometimes I leave the sound of the ocean in my beach shoot videos and sometimes I mute it. In this case I left the sound of the ocean in all three shots.
“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have”
Maya Angelou
In conclusion I feel intelligence is very important but I feel creativity is equally if not more important particularly in visual art. Also, thanks to Yannick Soyez who shot the video and took the photos.
