My work has developed such a lot through this year, and although I’ve really enjoyed having this change in direction, (making the “paint boxes”,) I can’t help but feel that I’m doing something wrong by not painting in my studio upstairs, but by now spending my time downstairs in the sculpture studios, preparing the wood and fixing it together.
It seems such a change from doing what I had been doing at the beginning of the year, but it is a natural progression, I haven’t suddenly jumped from painting to sculpture.
What I like about the “paint boxes” is this change. I like the projection they have into real space. I like the fact that it would be harder for a viewer to ignore these, that they have to respond to them in some way, they can’t just walk past and blank them so easily.
But once these are finished, what do I do now, once I’ve run out of tins, what else can I display? Or do I not display anything else, but try to evolve them into a more minimalist work, like the paintings before them?
