Cardall Collection Residency continued today… I’ve also been working towards things for it as well as just conducting research! I’ve made animated GIFs, and have started work on an evolved version of the publication I sent out. I’ve began working toward some window displays as well! Earlier I emailed some committee members a brief summery of what I’ve actually been doing which I’ve pasted here:
I thought I would also take this oppertunity to fill you both in on other things I have been up to with regards to the resdency; I’ve become really interested in Henry Lilley Smith (which you both already know) and have done a photoshoot at warwick house, which of cause was orignally his hospital, this has led to the creation of an animated GIF which I’m considering including in the evolved pamphlet on either CD-R or floppy disc! I’ve also become quite interested in St. Wulfstan and Mother Clare Fey, I’ve been talking to a curator at Rugby Museum and Art Gallery about some embroidories they hold in their collection which were made in Southam’s convent and will be arranging to go and see these soon! But I still need to do a lot of research before I decide on which character is most interesting!! I do like this confilct in southam’s past between medical science and religion though which could be explored potientally!
It looks likely that we will be presenting something and publishing the 2nd edition of the publication around the same time as warwickshire open studios but will not actually be particpating offically in the event for varous reasons. However, I like this idea of being paracitic to a biennale and existing on the margins!
