LOGISTICS
One word comes to mind at the moment: Logistics. I feel that I’m spending a great deal of time lately planning, contacting and organizing.
For my intervention I’m eager to gather building materials such as plasterboard, timber, plywood and insulation- the basic fabrics that make up an interior wall. Previously, I have chosen plasterboard as my principal material so I feel that it is important to develop this range within my practice. I have begun sourcing materials with previous histories, walls and surfaces from other spaces and times. Words like ruination have been associated with my works for some time so I feel that it is important to work with found materiality.
In order to collect the materials I require I have been in contact with builders, visited building sites, house renovations and skip depots. Through this process of collecting, one thing I’ve realized recently is that I need to think more carefully about the difference between taking the fabric/wall from a place and the material just being old. What materials have authenticity to me?
On a different note- as promised in my last post I have also included an image here of my finished tools.
