and a final nod to Sol LeWitt...

So the moment of execution came and tensions were present.
In an attempt to step out of the chaos we had created through our over-complicated attempt to reference every idea we ever had, we had stripped the piece back to virtually nothing, and discontent hovered over the group.
The idea to create a frame on the glass as a commentary on how, in the group process, we looked but maybe did not see, felt insubstantial. Writing a commentary on the process felt inadequate. We wanted more visual impact.
Having tested out drawing some geometric shapes on glass using coloured tape, I showed the group some pictures. Immediately we had a resolution. A nod and a wink to Sol LeWitt, for whom the three of us carried a torch. Our absent member's objections no longer present, this was free to unfold.
We enjoyed how the piece could be viewed from inside and out, the coloured cube extending the work beyond the White Cube, exploiting and enhancing the qualities of the window that had always been our intention.
Our textual summation of the process ties it up. Research, radical editing, spontaneous execution. Feels good.
