Hedvig’s permaculture diploma

It’s almost a year since I left FRP, since I received this unusual leaving card.  I think both FRP and I are in quite different situations.  

 

I have really struggled to be able to write my blog, not because it required the discipline to regularly write, not because I wasn’t doing anything but because I wasn’t sure how to use it.  Much of that has to do with not knowing who the audience was.  Now, I find it quite reassuring to think there isn’t much of an audience. 

 

As I mentioned in my last post, in January I spent a few days in Paris.  I had read about this exhibition at the Centre Pompidou about futurism and the avant-garde and decided this was the one thing that I wanted to do.  It turns out to have guided the months that followed more than I could have expected.  This includes getting me to a second interview to a job and, more importantly for this blog, providing me with a way out of the struggle of writing.

 

After the exhibition (which was well worth the visit) I explored the Centre a bit more.  I came across a collection that was put together by Daniel Cordier.  He had written this to explain it:

 

‘The collection assembled here is the fruit of happenstance, what connects the objects being only the enjoyment they brought to one single art-lover.

 

It reflects the ungovernable disorder of pleasure.’

 

This is what I want this blog to be.  An ungovernable disorder of pleasure. 

 

With that in mind, I want to use this space share my own version of an ‘ungovernable disorder of pleasure’, a virtual collection of my own.  If anyone reads and gains any pleasure that would re-affirm the benefit of sharing using this ungovernable disorder of the internet.
