I felt the urge to make a sculpture, not nurture a lifestyle. I am left with more questions and less answers concerning impermanence. I have leaned on this project as my practice of buddhism has developed and now that my practice has stalled I don’t feel the urgency to be surrounded by living proof of change. The proof is inevitable. I question how literally I took this notion. The Monkeyfaces were my Bodhi Trees and it’s naive and irresponsible to accept the fact that I will outlive my living proof. So this final Monkeyface is only the proposition of a planter. It will never be subjected to the decay and maintenance inevitable when you facilitate living things. It is archival and final. I do not wish to ask questions of sustainability and continuation in the material form of art. If I did I would be martyring myself to documentation. The artist, the gardener, and the hiker would be wise to not engage in these activities at the same time. I am now choosing to take as step back and separate these areas of interest. </p> <p>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhi_tree</p> John Warren 2009-10-09T22:56:00Z 2009-11-15T17:12:31Z tag:www.johnlwarren.net,2009-10-09:f85ac3b44ac539357b8ecf41f7dbfe8b/8d05b632388236d2267ab4e824fc9c3d

This project was the first time I bought and consumed a young thai coconut, and, coincided with a change in my lifestyle. I was instantly a fan of coconut water and the meat inside. The long process of opening the coconut, thinking about how to drink the water, and scooping out the meat left me feeling sad when the time came to discard it. I wanted this party to continue so I began saving the coconuts I ate. I then began removing the husk and composting it, leaving the shell <br /> behind. <br />     This shell is first and foremost a vessel, the largest seed found in nature, form incarnant, everyone is similiar but slightly different. I began to notice a thin spot on the bottom of each coconut it took no effort to carve this out leaving a small hole. This thin spot is where water is filtered in a live coconut and it acts as the perfect drainage hole in what I now recognized as a planter, the water now going the other way. The urge to use these vessels for planting new plants seemed obvious in the spring fervor. I also returned the coconut <br /> to it’s relational place, living, above our heads, just out of reach. <br />     The issue of what to plant plagued “Monkeyface” in the beginning and led to a number of false starts. I’ve reclaimed many coconuts from perennials that are now dead. It does not make sense to grow edible plants in these because they don’t grow or taste as they should. What grows best are annual house plants and hearty succulents. They begin to take on bonsai character with the limited growing space and they need little watering as the soil has only slight exposure to air. I take clippings from the older plants in order to make new plants and further expand on the garden as new coconuts add up. The canopy grows over time as it would if it were alive. </p> John Warren 2008-12-29T16:41:00Z 2009-11-15T17:12:44Z tag:www.johnlwarren.net,2008-12-29:f85ac3b44ac539357b8ecf41f7dbfe8b/8b9d767ef8bb4f38027add1de58cde42

I was given a napkin with my softdrink. I immediatly began to study it. The drawing was made by letting the pen sit on the napkin until it seaped through to the other layers. I then unfolded the napkin.</p> John Warren 2007-12-25T18:10:00Z 2007-12-25T18:13:44Z tag:www.johnlwarren.net,2007-12-25:f85ac3b44ac539357b8ecf41f7dbfe8b/685a7ee5ad825d211e86b0f27c9f06a6 <p>This drawing was made with a ruff formula. I had done some small experiments but couldn’t predict the outcome of the work. I began by picking a random point on stencil of a right traingle. I then nailed that point to the center of the paper. I traced and rotated the triangle eight times to make an eight part symmetry. I then flipped the triangle over and lined it up to the ones I’d already traced. Using the same nail hole, I repeated the process of tracing the triangles. This time I had to trace it 64 times. I did this over and over, using a different point each time. The result is a complex radial symmetry created by 8 smaller overlapping 8 sided symmetries.</p> John Warren 2007-12-25T18:07:50Z 2007-12-25T18:07:50Z tag:www.johnlwarren.net,2007-12-25:f85ac3b44ac539357b8ecf41f7dbfe8b/18b57c39d3cea022aa4c3695c6a2aac1 <p>Billow was made with a single stroke.
