Not too much to add today. Had a fun, if fultile, attempt to walk through floodwater into the town centre but had to turn back right at the end. Noticed some cool things like a red/orange moth and a bee virtually making love to a bright lilac flower.
Thought I’d post a couple of photos of newer work, cardboard and thread piece. Maybe to make twenty of them before judging how successful they are.
Also, would like like to link to Ruth Laskey’s website, she’s an artist that weaves her own canvas/linen and makes sparse almost paintings with twill thread. She was featured in Artforum last year but since then hasn’t been in the news much. I’m going to be interviewing her and am excited to find out more about her.
Another one of my favourite artists is Varda Caivano. Her work seems to have a historical and emotional depth that isn’t often found at the moment. I would aspire to make work as moving and skillful as these two women, if I had the courage and time to make things more consistently. What does anyone else think of these works?
