Back from three weeks going up the Irawaddy river in Burma. I have a head full of golden pagodas and buddhist chanting and I am finding it hard to get myself motivated again.
We got back on Thursday and I have made one piece of work per day since then for the Pie Factory exhibition- we hang tomorrow.The suitcases remain unpacked.
The works are a collages of 1930’s road maps and monoprints of netting and scrim and I am quietly pleased with them. The nets do seem to speak of fishing fleets long vanished and the maps repay close scrutiny.
I hope they hold up against the other work – I don’t regard myself as a printer and always feel a bit non purist with my monoprints………….
I still haven’t got to Sevenoaks to see my Collection Plate in the Beta exhibition. I have however read David Minton’s a-n review – which was very odd because now I feel as if I have seen it, which of course I haven’t.
David said there was a four leaf clover in the plate which had gone by his second visit. Exciting – nothing to do with me. Another friend told me she had fished around in her pockets and bag and found something to swop.
Great to know its working just as I hoped it would.
