Studio- Intensive Day 3
Past art life has become more bags of discarded paper. Am I just a sum of the rubbish? It wasn’t rubbish then so what has changed? One thing is that the internet has meant that things don’t have to be printed out, they are always accessible. I don’t need these copies, this image, that catalogue, they become part of my own personal archive or, alternately, hoarding. What about work I have created, is that hoarding or not? Will I want to show it again or would a photograph suffice?
Actually think that an artist’s life is a little circular, re-visiting is fine. You get new contexts and can think of a different way of doing it.
Worked on recording techniques and left sound recorder on all night. It will be interesting to see what happens when the building is empty. This is so important for my cave recordings, have to get it right first time. Visited lots of websites for tips but some are contradictory so will have to experiment.
The collaborative piece I am doing with Ed and the choir has become just Ed. The choir don’t feel they want to do it. Now need to look for participants in Birmingham but think it will be ok.
One last piece to stick on my collage. I have had such a lot to learn about 2D stuff especially about the final touches, the cleanliness being a major thing, I am not a clean worker. Also about positive and negative and the way such small changes affect the whole.
Looking forward to tomorrow when things should have turned round, the sorting out so I feel that I can move forward.
