Part Three | Week 3 & 4
Couple of weeks have past, not a huge amount has changed due to being out for a week with a flu bug. But I’m back in the studio, recently completed a full blackout session in the studio, in a bid to work more productively during the day.
Currently creating more wind based work, currently upto Windy_Var#7b
Just read a piece on the web written by Simon Shama on Rothko, really like the line ‘Something in there was throbbing steadily.’ which very much illustrates the way the wind work and hopefully the coal work will progress.
My mind is starting to turn to the coal element of my work, think it will create a really powerful contrast with the wind.
Before my week out with the flu I made a large unprimed canvas to project onto, embracing the whole video painting aspect of my work. It has certainaly enhanced the projection, allows me to truely understand textures. The aim is to create two identical canvases, and have a moving dialogue between both. In a way it relates back to a colaborative piece Two Måner, a 2010 piece working with Danish artist Stephanie Donsø. It dealt with the concept of two, two people, two languages, and the idea that you are never alone.
Very quiet here at the arts centre, students are on their Easter break, when they return hoping to pay the art school a visit, engage with the students, perhaps do a talk on proffessional development.
Extra Note
Visited Harlech Castle up on the coast, part of Snowdonia, well worth a visit.
