I went in thinking I knew what I was going to produce, but when presented with the reality of the materials and the time it was clear that I would have to rethink.
In the back of my mind all of the time is my supervisor’s words about not being concerned about whether what I create is art. But it’s like not thinking of blue – to not think about whether it’s art or not, it’s just a little confusing.
I was so glad to be taking part in the neon workshops on Monday. Working with something I had no experience with and therefore whatever I made was an experiment and whether it was art or not was irrelevant for now.
I had planned to make ‘document me’ n Ernest Truely’s handwritting but it was not to be. Instead I designed a wasp an master neon maker Julia Bickerstaff creafted it into neon sign.
So there I didn’t even make the work. I looked at a picture of a wasp on-line and drew a picture and watched whilst t was realised into lt glass.
