Title:  THE SET-UP

The Set-Up is a theater setting; a workshop; a campsite; a story book; a song.
These are some of the metaphors for yet another metaphor: the five skandhas described in Buddhist philosophy as five layers of existence that constitute human experience. As an organizing principle, the skandhas suggest a simple, five part structure as well as contemplative, physical practices for focused study.
 
To turn this esoteric idea into concrete material for a generative art practice, over the course of several days, each day would be dedicated to one of the five skandhas, exploring a specific material that is somehow analogous.
