Temporary Sculpture is a one-minute video piece of a structure that succeeds in standing for a very short time before falling over. It was shown as part of A Fine Line, Kaleidoscope Gallery, Sevenoaks in February 2014.

There is a fine line between success and failure:

What is success? Selling a piece of work for however large or small a sum, fame or recognition by one’s peers?

In “On Failure and Anonymity”, Mira Schor writes “Real Success is the ability to continue making art that is alive.”[1] Survival then, as an artist, despite the cold studios and constant doubt.

Failure for Schor is when artists accept the status quo, stay within their limitations. But it is also an inescapable condition of life and exists in the gap between what the artist intends the work to be and what it is.
