WORK PLAY

What does ‘work’ mean to me?
artwork, artwork, artwork, does the joining of art and work imply a seriousness, a validity, what about artplay, or workplay?
is that amatuer, or lack of validity?
umm.. ‘artwork’ ‘ new work' 'work in progress'-

I recently read, whilst browsing in a book shop that artists should ‘lighten up’ not take themselves seriously, so I’ve been exploring artplay- are my doodles, my tearings, the remants of play of any value?
May be it is, it sounds a lot simpler, to not worry about the function or meaning, the intention, to revert to the authority of the authors voice just becase, to present the artists views & opinions/ emotional states/ expressive marks..... ummm,
Not sure of anyhting... booked a holiday, limited the reading list and locked away the laptop- going for a think-
revisit in September- it may reveal!

ARC REPORT REWORKED

having completed the arc evaluation commission I'm still attempting to understand the word and world of ‘work’ ,
I’ve recently turned to myself to see what evidence I have of activity, how does it manifest itself, how is it measured and quantified?
The image shown is a pile in progress.. shredding will contine.... Then measuring and deleting of emails and digital docs.
