Sarah and I had our first Glasgow-based meeting on Sunday 4th May. During our previous weekend meet on Islay we identified some experiments with mold making and casting that we wanted to begin in a studio enviroment. We found examples of cheap mold making techniques online using DIY scilicone, plasticine and plaster. Ove the day we created two test scilicone molds which were successful and next we will begin to make molds from the scallop shells found on the Mull of Oa on Islay.
We identified a couple more artists which we both found inspiring and we also challenged the concepts within their work through discussion and coffee.
I exchanged two examples of writings which I hope will become forms of sound-poetry and part of our final body of work. Sarah will now begin to intetrpet these writings through drawing.
As well as the workings above, we also re-visited some ideas for installation and presentation that we think will suit our project.
