The Documenter is trying to work out when she is?

She will try things out, experiment as she goes. She will let the plans that she thought she had bend and flex, according to the circumstances. Bend, flex, flow or adapt or evolve? She wants to work with you and from you, it’s a collaboration of sorts.

She doesn’t know the ‘best’ way to do all of this but she know when she feels a little bit of heat in a moment, a charge, that might contribute to her activities. And it is from this place that she is working – from and with the charge. She sometimes calls it ‘intuition’ but likes to think that it is grounded in more than ‘a feeling’. Although she can never be quite sure. She wants to see what its like to work from a place of uncertainity or ‘not knowing’.

You are invited to contribute thoughts around ideas these questions – a beginning to a conversation.

The Documenter is in the room, she is present as the groups are working on their pieces but she is not directly part of any of them. She wonders what it means that she is in this role of observer? She finds herself sitting behind a desk – hiding behind her computer for a moment, when really what she wants to do is to make herself visible – to become integrated/integral to the making through her processes of documentation.

As a way of coping with the situation she finds herself in she attempts to work with it. But how? She recognises her point of view, that she has a particular point of view and she works from there. It’s what she sees, what she hears, what she thinks that will invariably become the document. She knows the pitfalls of attempting to work from objectivity and instead she wants the document to become something (an artwork?) in its own right – a spring-board, a space to work from, a space to work with.
