This was a piece inspired by turning a failure from your studio into a “happy accident”.
I am always aiming for the rubbish bin and missing. That week it had been a series of mandarin pips and skins which littered the floor (in an arty and beautifully random fashion, of course). Making art is a lot like aiming and missing, and even if you aim all your ingredients and energy toward that tiny basketball hoop that is a good artwork, you also can sometimes end up with a beautiful mess. I also enjoy encouragement, so the soundtrack was recorded from a radio broadcast of an Indiana University match against Michigan State that I don’t even know the result for.
