- first time working with a gelli plate
- only had water based printing inks
- foraged some leaves from the garden
- assortment of paper.
- before began felt nervous
- during the process was in flow
- at lunch i felt disappointed in what i saw
- mid-afternoon worked into the prints some more
- at the end felt nervous.
- thoughts around images made through play having no historical references – the action of play being absolute in the moment. infers an isolation to what came before – art history.
- the actions were out of the ordinary, for the sake of using the gelli plate for the first time.
- no colour mixing
- small amount of space to work.
- need to research further the absolute moment nature of play with materials that newly combine into a state they stay within. as opposed to material that is arranged in the moment and subsequently taken apart.
- ideas of how images of the moment of arrangement being drawn into the combined state (future play)
- how to maintain the first time aspect when using again
- how to maintain the isolation from art history.
- try to understand through future sessions where the feeling of disappointment originated from.
- why the nerves?
- purity of the flow state – the absence of external influence and force.
- were any rules adopted – no the – the flow was holistic
- what could have been extended? more white paper.
- what was the main learning today? how ever the ink landed on the paper, in time that paper potentially was another print.
- for me the play today was solitary. how might that be maintained while with other people?
- a prompt was used to generate a draft proposal.
- everything today was abstract, no trying to represent something already in existence – the play not having a end point defined at the start. the play was free.

from feeling stationary and isolated - an experimental research project considering isolation through adulthood play.
