Frustration Day 2

What does frustration look like?

darkness
repetition
no resolve
waiting
exchange
obstruction

money exchange again and again and again
something departing not facing me
boomerang
fan's turning
glass breaking
tripping
backing away, facing me
being denied at the last second like the above animated gif


I keep going back to repetition. All of my work goes back to repetition or multiples. That illustrates compulsion. Ive done it since I was a kid. Its been pretty consistent in my work for the last 10 years or so. When i envision anything on the above stated list, I can only envision it working if its repeating. The repetition is important because it suggests the compulsion. (Side Note: See, Im even doing it in my own sentences).

Here's the thing: Frustration is an emotional response. I need to document the obstruction, which causes the emotional response. Ann Hamilton's work reminds me of frustration just because of sheer process. So here's what ive got:
obstruction
response (frustration)
...repetition is part of the cycle.

1 : to block or close up by an obstacle
2 : to hinder from passage, action, or operation : impede
3 : to cut off from sight

1 a: to balk or defeat in an endeavor b: to induce feelings of discouragement in
2 a (1): to make ineffectual : bring to nothing (2): impede , obstruct b: to make invalid or of no effect

a: to say or state again b: to say over from memory : recite c: to say after another
2 a: to make, do, or perform again b: to make appear again c: to go through or experience again
3: to express or present (oneself) again in the same words, terms, or form

I have a process i need to work with. Again.
1. obstruction
2. responce (frustration) (the act of being frustrated)
3. repetition

Repetition could be left off. Repetition is specific to me. Or rather, an act representing compulsion. This could be done in post.
