just looking
You do some drawing [well quite a lot it has to be said], then you make some marks on a big panel, then it’s looking. Sitting looking, standing looking, walking around looking. And thinking. Looking thinking, thinking looking, looking feeling, feeling thinking.
A hard one to justify, in the light of the widely accepted understanding of the concept of ‘work’.
“So – what did you do at work today?”
“Oh, I looked at a painting.”
“and – ?”
“and nothing, that’s what I did.”
“You looked at a painting all day?”
“Yes”
“What – just… looked at it?”
“Yes”
“didn’t you do anything?”
“er … well, I looked – oh, and thought a lot.”
