Breaking Ground

ALLOTMENT DAY-TYPEWRITER BURIAL

On Brighton beach 8 years ago when I was beginning my new life in art I found a rusty burned typewriter. It represented change and I made several pieces of work based on this typewriter. But it is ready to be buried on the Downs, ready for further change.Judith assisted with the photography and filming and we got some good shots. We went for a cuppa in the garden centre. I deleted some bad photos and inadvertently erased the whole memory card.

And we could not find the other memory card full of the best ones. However after frantic searching we found it and retook the missing pictures.

At the tail end of the day I helped Judith begin to construct a 3D shed using canes and string. She gained some useful experience and we plan to continue this next time.

Laid out the polaroids that I found on the allotment a few months ago. There are 23 – tables, chairs, chests, whatnot table and paintings. The bluish green faded colours are beautiful. I hope by handling them, placing them, scanning them that ideas will arise of how to use them. They look like doll’s furniture but they are full size antiques. I will show them to Judith again tomorrow as we have a preparation day on the allotment.
