'The untraceable influence' Reflective writing//Consideration 

Hope within art is as hope is within any source within any field. I feel that hope is something so vital and important that even though we are aware of the failures the hope is what disallows their success. Within art and through other praxis's I feel sharing this hope is my main aim. Sharing this passion and desire for a influence of good and a type of awakening. Not an ethereal, privileged awakening but a human awakening. A wake that says goodbye to the sleep we have been so cleverly tricked into desiring. this desire is a sleep that w feel as we walk, talk, work, function together and independently. This sleep seeps into our souls and defines what we are willing to dedicate our lives works to. I decided a long time ago that I am and will be willing to dedicate mine to change. There is no specific goal of this change except a more conscious society that then does not allow themselves to be sleepy supporting the oppressor. The individual protests, the marches and strikes, the injustices that happen to readily are all valid fights and those at arms with them are more than respectable. However, I have a theology of the change above that. Not above in a implied superior sense but above in terms of before. A priori. What has gone before can not be relied on so we may need to re-evaluate and re-emerge in a new sort of fight. A creative fight to fuel the waking. This waking is to see that the greater good is ultimately for ourselves as humans.We as a society owe it to ourselves to disallow the neoliberal strangulation to continue and divide us. Therefore, I propose a sort of a trace. A remarkable, untraceable space in which this inspiration, this change will be passed and interpreted. The minds trace is of great power and until visuality opens such paths the work will be void if written if preached is screamed. The handling and passing of a work, the viewing and latter conversations are of great vitality. This si the trace. The trace that can not be followed, marked,seen or heard. This trace can not be arrested or ilenced. The same trace used in marketing and capital grasp of greed and power and corruption. The same trace turned once more to face the way in which progressive life will take shape and overthrowing and gaining small victories will soon be the norm. There is work already born into this field and art very heavily occupies such. The trace that cannot be described and a presence that need not be evaluated. This inspiration is what allows me to continue this consideration. what does it mean to share that work. To hand that leaflet out, that handmade work. To run a workshop with those in need or to stay and talk that little bit longer. All these are traces and I could consider their materiality vastly and at length. As I oftn do however there is still a mark that no amount of metaphors embody. It is this that I am using as my main material. It is this I have been struggling to harness, the explain, to impliment. Proof of the disheartened shows in how I reflect again and again on the likelyhood the meaning. However, this is to be moved away from and to take hold in that's place is shifts. Changing, shift once more and tireless effort. Collaborating can fuel this. De-authoring a work adds an entirely new social dimension to the work. It is not mine nor hers it is ours as the trace is ours and yours. The we not I. The movement not the thing. The idea not the embodiment. All these concepts, materiality, what, how, when and why all boil down to this trace. The untraceable influence.
