12 August – have given up trying to be chronological and regular – and just put things in when I get time.
Last week had a productive meeting in Dover with D.A.D – everyone was very supportive and helpful which was great. But it remains hard to envisage how the projection is going to work and although I took lots of photos of the station, once I was home and explored a few different angles I found I hadn’t taken photos of the right bits ! However when I tried it out in the studio it came together nicely – I just want to keep adding layers of structure and imagery – but a more mixed media approach will work better in Dover where I will have an enclosed space which lends itself better to this approach. Just need to keep it clear and simple for St. Omer.
Dover looked particularly shimmery and summery – walked and flmed on the pier – it was a bit like being in the Med. with little yachts bobbing around the turquiose harbour and a vast expance of concrete which must have been the old ferry port – the light around 6 pm was just beautiful.
Also struggling to plan for the next year – trying to juggle some teaching/gallery work and finalise dates plus do work for 2 other projects and maybe do an MA – the latter may well be the one that goes out the window. Could do with being 20 years younger !
