Wednesday
Spent the day trying to write my statement… got very frustrated. No idea what to write but I found some inspiration in the end.
Yesterday I followed a train of thought about the west bleeding into the east and came up with the idea of a traditional and easy to recognize eastern scene, e.g. a Japanese bridge, with something that would be well suited their, such as deer, but with an eastern twist, such as making the deer characters out of bambi.
Went to Southampton Bar Gate Gallery for a look around, there was some interesting stuff there vaguely along the lines of my own ideas, industrial chimneys casually painting into traditional style Asian wall scrolls.
Finally finished Statement, don’t know how but I think it looks finished.
