The second section is well under way now. This is just as well as it is being installed for the Big Draw in less than a months time and I have to be back at Middlesex University to resume my residency next week. I have temporarily installed the first section in the studio in Tottenham. We have Open Studios this weekend and it’ll be good to get some feedback on it.
On doing a bit of research on the history of the Barnet area I discovered that an early cartographer John Norden used to live in Hendon House . He produced maps of London in the 1600’s. (It still amazes me at the ease the internet allows you to find things out.) I have printed out (onto donated paper) some images of his maps for use in the work and I am hopeful that the historical theme of the second section is being made clear. I have decided to use a variety of paper within it though as it strikes me that to only use paper with historical detail on it is either going to be too limiting in terms of resources or too contrived if I have to print out too much. Enough now – I’d better get on with the making and photographs of the second section to put up here..
