Not done much work in the last few days as Christmas has to be sorted!!!
I have done a lot of thinking though and have been going round in circles-I have come to the conclusion that 6 months is not long to discover and experiment with a new medium and wanting to produce large works is really pushing it!!! I have therefore done a bit of thinking and questioning what it is I am doing and why. I think (for now anyway) I have come full circle and will stick to my original concept but achieved in a different way. My inspiration comes from images of closed and old, damaged shutters on doors and windows in a house in France. I want to work big as I feel it will be more powerful and was inspired by the work of Rothko and Miro among others. My first thought was to use only oil paint-now I am considering alternative options. I plan to have a sound installation along with the other works.
I am anticipating most of my time over the festive season will be spent with the family. I went to the studio to do a bit of rethinking today and have brought home some books to look at over the holiday so the blog may go a bit quiet for the next week or so.
Merry Christmas everyone and all the best for a happy and creative New Year !!!
