Ross:
I haven’t posted in the last week or had much contact with Richard. I’ve been tired and sluggish and not very productive. Perhaps a consequence of my weekend in Dundee perusing the recent degree show and DCA openings. Being where I am (The Aberdeenshire countryside) I don’t get the chance to see much art in an exhibition context so Dundee was a welcome change.
Richard says I map out my drawings, which I do. This is a recent development and something I was hard pushed to do before. I would fall out of an idea and not push through. I’ve since realised that to finish a drawing and then discard it is better than discarding it half way through.
My drawing has been sitting for a few days now. I look at it and wonder if it worthy of this project. Doubt begins to creep in. I’ll get past it but this normally mean that after this drawing, the system I’ve used recently will be shelved, at least for a while. I’ll have to find something new.
Richard has adopted some of my patterns into the interior of his drawings. This makes me think that a wall drawing might be appropriate. Even a floor drawing. We must create the interior of the exhibition space before we place our work.
We wait and wonder.
