This week I was based almost entirely on the studio floor developing a sculpture out of fragments of chipboard. The process of construction, deconstruction and reconstruction integral to each component, as well as the layering of its linear elements suggested a relationship to drawing and felt like a return to an obsessively ‘scattered' aesthetic.
Out of all the work I've developed during the residency, this one feels most informed by previous work, and I see it acting almost as an anchor, to help me keep hold of the other constructions which I'm yet to understand.
I've had time off work this week to concentrate on the project, and the difference it's made has been incredible. A much-needed luxury!
