This is so much fun! Now the collaborations are starting to come together and link with the work that I am doing in the space. The space is becoming public/private with the addition of netting, that was begun as part of a collaboration with Louise Garland and continued alone, is starting to divide but creates a visibility of the wall work.
I often have a disregard of the materials used, the aim being to work out the concepts. Here, the materials used are ones of happenstance, what a lovely word! Video tapes were given to me and this is what is creating the present boundaries. Although fragile, it does have an aesthetic appeal especially when the sun shines and it seems to look like liquid metal.
The sound collaborations are continuing as well as the wall traces and architectural relationships with Yizhong. The next collaboration is with artist Rie Suto on Monday.
