Limbo Arts/Substation Residency 2007

I've been working in the space for 12 days now and it really seems to be taking shape. I seem to drift between days of extreme energy and intense production of work to days of sitting and contemplating. I've been enjoying my travels around Margate town, not really like a flaneur cos mostly I'm looking for stuff to take back to the space but sometimes it is nice just wandering around, over-hearing conversations and looking at the beach. I made a really simple piece involving some gold chain, a twig, some plastic hearts and something from a skip. I find the fragility and balance in the piece quite interesting. I also added an element to the carpet piece which I'm fairly happy with, it's kind of reminding me of a clam or oyster shell (except a Margate version). I'm planing to take a visit to the Shell Grotto which I'm very excited about, it's suppose to be beautiful and supposedly over 100 years old. Apparently the rainfall is causing havoc so I want to see it before it's too badly damaged.
