LONDON LIGHT
Saw the ‘Light Show’ at Hayward Gallery today. Can quite see why it’s received such rave reviews !! Found it very useful for ideas for my own little installation show. Less is more…as my tutors have been saying. So it’s back to the editing suite tomorrow. It’s hard as I’ve taken so much footage but have got to be brutal and pare it all down to what really matters. That way it’ll have far more impact.
lots of ideas after today at The Hayward Gallery. Must be really careful to keep it simple when dealing with the space
‘Becoming Picasso’ again at the Courtauld. Spent more time there this time and interestingly noticed his brightly painted outlines inspired by his reference to Van Gogh. It reminded me of my latest attempts. I’ve been outlining bits of my paintings with deep turquoise or red lines. I must have subconsciously picked up on that aspect before.
Matt showed me how to take out a ‘still’ from my videos. Think I may use this to create an abstract image of Kate swimming. That section is really good but doesn’t ‘fit’ with the video installation. It might make a good subject for a painting though. Something my tutors have suggested in the past.
PS the Hayward Gallery website to see the ‘Light Show’ is well worth a visit.
