Self imposed exile in the library over the past month. Writing essay and continual rewrites. Feels almost there, I think. Spent too long looking at it and need some time out.
Change of exhibition plans: using smaller scale prints of black and white 35mm photography alongside text pieces. Quite a departure to the planned very large scale prints, but feel a lot happier with the plan. Possibly was just moving to large scale just for the sake of it, keeping to a more readable size could help remove the potential of scale as a distraction, and focus the viewer upon the content alone. Using text within the exhibition was also totally the obvious choice, and should have been all along really, yet somehow wasn’t… perhaps the attendant issues that this brings up for me (is my practice writing or image making?) was at play again.
Looking forward to finally getting back into the studios and getting on with work next week. (Period of blind panic finally subsided.) Need to adapt work to the space and play with the lighting there.
