Have been feeling a bit overwhelmed with ideas which are started but not completed lately. Each day I think “i could do that” I need several lives/elves to produce what I would wish too. A workshop of assistance would also be helpful, See Ryan Gander, Chapman Brothers.
It is also perhaps a mythical?female trait of multi tasking, women’s lives are often less structured, perhaps we are genetically programmed not to have tunnel vision which might be necessary for hunting, so decided to focus again, to return to some background research on the subject of Masks and Helmets in my Cover Her Head theme.
Portraits are often revered for the accuracy of the likeness, but the interpretation of the inner personality produces lasting art. The expression of this hidden person feeds into my theme of Armour, the need to show or hide. A Mask, a Covering.So I looked at the work of Frank Auerbach, Francis Bacon, Micallef…the latter work stimulated thoughts of strips of textiles or dripping plaster and now I have the urge to construct some huge? chicken wire masks…….
