PAGE 6, A PROPOSAL, A DAY IN THE STUDIO
After what seems like a very long period of planning, organising, proposal writing and generally doing all the boring stuff that hopefully sets everything up for the next few months (fingers crossed), I looked for my last blog entry today. By the time I’d read all the other interesting blogs on the way, that took a very long time too. Page 6 my blog was on. V bad. It’s been too long.
One of the good things I’ve been doing in the last couple of months is writing a proposal for an installation – yes, you guessed it, it’s Improbable Experiments With Growing Stones. Although I still haven’t actually succeeded in spotting any growth in my stones, the experiments are getting quite interesting. I’ve decided it’s time to bring them all together in one place – past & present experiments and their documentation, as an installation in a shed. It seems like a good idea because a shed is reasonably portable and I can create the special environment my stones need in it and take it to almost any location – is this the start of The Growing Stones Roadshow? Big ideas, early days…
Meanwhile, a lovely sunny day today meant that the best way to spend it was in my studio-shed at the bottom of my garden, finishing off my marathon winter drawing project – 63 pages of drawings into a book of surprisingly dark Nature Poems by William H Davies … Yeah, thanks studio-mate who suggested that it was a bit silly to do them all in one book cos nobody’s going to be able to afford to buy it so I should take all the pages out & sell them as individual drawings – I don’t think so… ; )
