My resin experiments came to a stop as I had various things to contend with such as shingles and then gastroenteritis and then excruciating knee pain. The knee pain and jamming of the joint is likely to recur from time to time until I decide it is so bad that there is no alternative to a full joint replacement. So not good but …. the open studio here in Dover at the beginning of the month with fellow studio holders and guest artists was a huge success. We had loads of visitors and lots of lovely feedback.
I realise that working with resin is very expensive and I am not sure yet how I want to work with it. I am both attracted to and put off by the shininess. For the open studio I created a mini installation, bringing different materials and forms
together, including a block of coloured resin with tea and the resin-painted column of paper which is now very brittle.
