So “A Reservoir of Time” will be happening. Came up with this idea more than a year ago, did a quick and short writing, gathered some friends, and did a proposal.
Missed out on it last year but the idea was always stuck in my mind; slowly swishing, taking shape, morphing, evolving… still in flux now, but it will eventually manifest itself half a year later.

Starting this to hopefully record my journey of curating my own show for the first time, how the ideas continue to develop; the processes of working with the artists, the organisation, and the mentorship; the challenges and the epiphanies; the stories and memories; and the time, the time that takes for all of these to come into reality.
Just watched John Berger’s “About Time” to hopefully prepare my mind better in looking at time, or thinking about looking at time.
A beautiful visual essay by Berger as usual, as I’ve already experienced his brilliance through “Ways of Seeing” and “Understanding a Photograph”. Berger’s way of seeing things is so detailed and so thoughtful.
Storytelling, dreams, different timescales, mortality, promises, drawing, music, and so much more — Berger so…
