Been thinking about a potential piece for the degree show, but am still unsure as to whether I want to actually display it as a stand alone work.
If I did it, it would be a whole wall full of small circular individual paintings made from the bottom of the plastic cups you get from the water dispensers. I started doing these at the beginning of the year, basically using the cups to wash my paint brushes with, and allowing the leftover pigment to settle at the bottom and dry.
I had a picture of them taken for the catalogue, where I stuck a small square of them on a white wall, and the impact they gave was quite strong. It was only after that that I considered them as an actual separate piece of work.
But now, I’m not so sure. I tend to think now that they don’t really communicate the same formal attitude that the other pieces I’m going to display will. They come across as being playful and fun, and I’m not quite sure that that would be a good addition.
