Yesterday I did some experiments in the morning photocopying over some of the drawings I have been producing. I didn’t think this was successful and I ruined a drawing that I really liked. It is hard when that happens, when you go too far and spoil something, and I am working in such a minimal way that if you over step the mark there is no wrestling it back.
Ho hum
In the evening a few of us attended Zeitgeist Arts talk about writing artist statements and talking about your work. It was really useful and got me especially thinking about the importance of titles; they pointed out that when people are selecting work from jpgs the title can catch the eye and stick in peoples memory.
However there are works were a title would be inappropriate, Catrine’s work for instance; to give her abstract painting (produced through spontaneous marks and responding to each change on the canvas) titles would encourage a figurative reading of a purely abstract image.
But,I think I have titles for my plug works, they are pretty cheeky!
