Today was quite a quiet Sunday, mainly spent catching up with emails, considering everything that has happened over the last week and preparing for the work we are both planning for the next day.
As I am organising studio days for myself (through Yan Yan) I am also becoming aware of elements of Nina’s work arriving in the studio. Familiar objects from the streets of Huan Jai Ping are starting to fill the studio. As far as I am concerned these objects have suddenly appeared, however the nature of them suggests the toil involved in bringing them to the studio. Piles of bricks, a large marrow/watermelon-like vegetable the size of a small child, a sack of shoes, several bottles of water and a small bench – all awkward and heavy, and with no sign of any equipment used to transport them.
