TO SEE A PROJECT SPACE
Roz & I travelled to Portsmouth & Southampton on Friday. We went to the Aspex Gallery for a 1-2-1 with Sarah Palmer to talk about our BMPD professional development project, then we went on to see the Millais Project Space at Southampton Solent University. We wanted to look at the space to see if it might be a suitable venue for the next stage of Breaking Ground, where we plan to work in three different project spaces along the south coast for a week in each space, inviting selected artists and arts professionals from each area for a private viewing and a discussion about the work we make at the end of each week.
PREPARATIONS
This evening I’m preparing for another day’s printmaking in Brighton tomorrow. I’ve got a stencil ready to print from – an outline plan of the allotment showing the “boundaries” which were understood, but in reality, almost invisible. More and more, the focus of the work I’m making is on the relationships which became important during the allotment residency, and the territorial issues which I was interested in as a visitor feeling the need to make a space for myself which would be my “safe base”.
