daily artifact log: timcoalman: 1) identification, 2) creation

1) identification, 2) creation

(today) Pages of journal entries, most reflective. Plans to copy old journal fragments in steno graph journal into current journal and to create easy digital copy by photographing pages. Watching Swans: The Seer video (sent by Teeple), always kicking me into working on artifacts, especially the scenes of opening vinyl, signing the sleeves, and repackaging - the handling of completed artifacts.

DAILY ARTIFACT LOG - GOAL

My artifacts are not stillborn or arrested in early development so much by unresolved planning or structural defects but instead are slowly pinched off by small stoppers and momentum-less days. The creative effort not lost to hemorrhage but leached off by the routine everyday droplets. The late arriving echo audience hardly privy to the daily toil that piles the artifacts for a lifetime before their immediate awareness, appraisal, and acquisition. Deadlines aid the effort but are product-bound and necessarily presume an audience / patron / publisher / distributor / and such.
