A very busy hanging week for the Christmas Show which includes some of my own photographs.
We have been hit hard by the snow and frost and a recent exploration ended with me occupying my brothers couch for an evening as I was unable to travel back home! Made for some interesting photographs though so once again I have a large amount of editing to get through.
I have a list (of sorts) on the go as I have started physicaly making work and it is inspriring further ideas as I go. I moved windows with my installation and I am pleased that I was able to re-install it so quickly as I was getting worried about time constraints for installing the final exhibition.
I have been working with rust transfers which produce some wonderfully vibrant effects and are reletively simple to do. Salt water will transfer rust to other surfaces so I have been wrapping cloth around various rusted implements and soaking them in sea water.
I also intend to try some work with wax which if applyed flat and allowed to set will crack like peeling paint. I think this will be very effective and will post further once I have some results.
