i feel artistically schizophrenic. i've been working in so many different directions for so long that i believe i have fractured my brain. i wrote in this previous post about my obsessive - probably compulsive - writing habit. and i have behaved in much the same way as a builder, painter, photographer, filmmaker, actor & human ... take one look at my website and you'll notice the cacophony (sic) of names that i've come up with to describe myself.
i've been trying like hell to unify myself & my work. i don't want to be a writer or a painter or a builder or an actor or a filmmaker. i want to be a whatever it is at the intersection of those things. am i complicating things? or simplifying them? i think it must be the similar type brain glitch to what i've been trying to sort out with periods & ellipses - something about the fluidity of my world view - i'm not sure... anyway, this #kidhollywoodlandexperiment is, in short, an attempt to bring my schizophrenic selves all into one room - to sit them down and see if they can play nice with one another. it is a project with a very wide net - it is an attempt to heal my fractured brain - and to unify what constantly seems to be trying to divide. #kidhollywoodlandexperiment is no one thing - no one medium: but it does fly under one banner. it is a narrative that stretches itself from paint to performance to cinema. it is a heroic effort to bring it all under one roof... i am no where near completion and at the moment it still seems to be more than a bit ambiguous, amorphous and cacophonous. it feels more like a mess than anything else... #kidhollywoodlandexperiment is a beast to wrangle. so keep watching me fall... get up - wipe myself off - fall again...
