My computer, having been recently wiped and refreshed, is now ready for dissertation action. I am researching early abstraction and getting to grips with the history of geometric abstract painting, before writing about contemporary reductive painting. I have found that alternating reading with drawing is helping me to absorb and reflect on the information. I’ll need to keep this going…
Our Fine Art Dept has moved into a refurbished building on the main Bucks campus. I can’t wait to see my space and to get painting. I have missed the studio over the summer, particularly after the intense working period running up to the professional practice exhibition. My studio ‘shed’ at home is full of canvases, paper, materials so it is difficult to work on a large scale, though I do enjoy working on a smaller scale there.
Hopefully we will have details of our tutorials, and the date for when we give a presentation of our dissertation plans, on Wednesday, our first day back.
