Doing the recycling is not part of the idea of ‘the other’ according to Hennesey Youngman and his You Tube channel which aims to support and advise emerging artists.

Despite that, although I identify with ‘the other’ I do recycle and have chosen to disclose this activity in the presentation of phase 1 of my MA. I have been accumulating glass jars since I moved to Poole and coincidentally I have as many jars as i do chewed paper boluses.
After spending many hours cleaning the glue from the jars i packed them up and headed for the studio. Seeing the empty room filled me with dread. So I went shopping for rollers and repainted the room and plinths. This calmed me to a point when I could start experimenting with the available technology which includes an over head projector which has been acquired from a school. It took five or six attempts before it shot into action and once the light came on I spent hours experimenting until it got dark.
I think I have a plan. Interestingly it will be something like a vision I had for my work some months ago. Image and object. I’m not sure how it will go down with the studio holders or indeed my supervisor but I want it to be an experience more that just a collection of visual material.
I don’t want to give too much away as I’m hoping to make a video of the exhibition from the viewers point of view. maybe this will involve taping the Flip to my head again.
