Ahhh, s p a c e…
After a massive cleanout of office and studio the head clearing effects of new space is not to be underestimated. I’ve got rid of all my junk and all the junk that I thought I would one day do something with but never managed to so far. Gone.
The prospect of a new year and new possibilities is still with me.
I’ve been doing some preliminary research and logistics regarding the ATM project. Elena has suggested that I could take photos somewhere busy like Ikea that has plenty of families using ATMs, but issues with finding obliging participants and reassuring them that I’m not recording their pin numbers would be very difficult. Instead, I think photographing my family would be easier. Next I need to find a good location. Stay posted.
Here’s a pic of an ongoing cathartic project in the meantime… each layer contains the details of a missed project/ idea. Out with the old and all that. In a way it releases the project.
I’ve just received my copy of Drawing Projects by Black Dog Publishing, what a great book I thoroughly recommend it and also a brilliant publishing house. Mmmmm… the smell of a new book!
I’m getting on with the Shadow Portraits at the mo, knitting the shape of a shadow. Just investigating whether a knitted piece can produce an accurate enough silhouette of a face and body contours.
