It seems strange to be making work that is so very personal - dealing with the intimate details of my life - but actually censoring large areas of information as too personal to share just yet. Is this dishonest? I'm in a dilemma when I think of an artist like Tracey Emin - dealing with the personal in such a blatant way - so that the content is so very obviously about the car crash of events that can be life. I'm just sharing snippets of communication in an abstracted way - little hints at what i'm up to in the digital world. However, people have already commented that it seems so personal to be looking at things like my emails, text messages and facebook/myspace profiles. I like the idea of viewing this stuff feeling slightly uncomfortable/a bit naughty.
Thinking about: Tarcey Emin, Sophie Calle and Tomoko Takahashi
