My first new project in the studio space was an assemblage of old art frames and junk that I had accumulated clearing my friends dads house, when he went into a home, alongside pieces of paper and card. I placed the pieces into the space, with the idea of putting the materials in place and letting them guide me.
Starting to fill and work with the space I laid them out in a grid formation and sat with the work.
What was interesting was that people came into the space and gave me their thoughts on the work, just the act of applying some order to some pieces of junk in the space gave rise to critics assessments which motivated me to move forward with what I was doing, it is clear that a positive audience reaction is pivotal to the art of creation to me.
