It’s been quite a week! I feel I’ve made lots of progress although admittedly much of it has taken the form of scribbled notes, sketches and thoughts ripening into ideas in my head.
It was good to touch base with Matt Roberts, you can’t ever underestimate the advantage of critical feedback from someone who has known your art practice for years. We were able to discuss EcologyNOW and its potential as a museum intervention in the context of my past projects, like ‘Casket’ and the ‘Harold Thomas Collection’.
Talks with my liaison contact at The University of Birmingham* UOB have also been productive. It’s great when you work with someone who is equally enthusiastic and not afraid to bounce back useful suggestions/ideas you can incorporate. I’ve never before, collaborated with scientists right from the inception of a project and it’s super exciting!
