Ross:
Watching Richard collating his images for proposal has given me food for thought. Although we are not strictly working collaboratively, we have a need to learn from each others work. We must adjust to accommodate. Not only does this force us to consider our practice it also keeps us on our toes. I know that I must keep producing work for Richard to see. I must maintain a standard.
We haven’t yet confirmed an exhibition, yet the simple act of sharing our practice spurs us into creating. A pattern begins to emerge through this practice. The diamonds keep appearing. As you can see from the images on the right I started with a triangle. Then it became diamonds. Next it will grow further and larger. This is of course just one piece of work, but how it will affect not only my own future output but Richard’s as well is what I find exciting! Why diamonds? I’m not sure but we are both looking for that answer.
