Fear of fear

I'm really not sure about 'fear' . . . the tangent my topic has taken in the last week or two? I think Yoko's comment on the previous post kinda hit on what I was thinking/feeling but couldn't describe.

I think my use of 'monstrosity' wants to be about something else? Fear might well be a part of it, but I don't think it's a motivating factor for me or the monster. I think my monsters will be more about familiarity, mistakes and failures, the unforeseen and the fucked-up.

I really want to start making some actual work. I'm going to try to write about the McCahon typeface AS a monster for The National Grid, and I'd quite like to use that as a discursive exercise to further explore the monstrous metaphor. I have a couple of projects I want to try out in relation to certain points that came up in the GRC . . . rather than say too much here I think I'll just get on and do them though.
