I can happily say that I have finished with the cleaning of the salmon skins and now, having damaged a muscle on my shoulder, the fun begins – making the tiles. I’ve been also testing the skins by drying them on various surfaces and slowly getting a result but not the one that I am happy with yet!
I am off to Macedonia tomorrow, which will give me two weeks to rest my shoulder. When I return hoping that some of my tests would of worked and that I could make a decision about which tiles to use.
I am travelling to Macedonia to install my work ‘Inherent Beauty’ at the Museum – Gallery in Kavadarci. The exhibition is opening on the 6th of May and I am so hoping that everything will go smoothly as there isn’t much time for mistakes…..
Last week I collected the first sheep testicle bags….. I was surprised to see how big they are and don’t know why but I imagined them looking very different! Yesterday I braved myself to cleaning them, and all I can say is that, the smell and the gunk it was very disgusting….. I don’t know what my stomach is made of but at the end it was rewarding – I think they are very beautiful!
