Busy ‘work’ week this week so very little time for play. I looked up a lot when walking the dog to keep in touch with the bigger picture. I managed a couple of hours early Monday morning which really paid off with a nice breakthrough. I ve been hankering after 3d drawing and this little sketch came together (wire & paper). Also been trying to restrict myself to only the materials I have … I have a theme of using-up/recycling/ reusing.
I feel that as the more sensitive/thoughtful corner of society surely artists should be concerned about the ‘real cost’ of their practice…? I am turned off by the skips and skips of materials that leave our studios…. it was the same when I worked at Brighton uni. This troubles me and increases my fears of the superficial in the art world – Art should surely be so much more than fashion? Looking forward to more time this week.
