Lonely, loneliness?
Is this the title for this work? I’m forcing myself to keep titliing my work as I feel that a title can trigger questions about what means the work to me. If I call it untetlitled there is more chances that the work won’t have as much impact as it does when the work is titled, if I know what I mean myself!
So yes, I’m trying to keep the titles going, the previous work in the previous posts it was titled yesterday, at the time of making it I didn’t have a title. At some point the idea of leaving a piece without a titled could mean to me that is only an experiment in progress but why not tittling experiments too… anyway I was just doing the washing up and I thought about this.
I think the more analysis into the work the better and the title for me is a big part to understand and give away to the viewer a bit of my thoughts and ideas.

The second pictures are fotographs of Rescue buoy, they have served me for new drawings, I love the geometrical shapes, the light that is reflected trough the tights is beautiful.

Rescue buoy, other work and drawings are displayed in same room to find connections and possibly recognising a new way of working.
More experimentation…
Tights are important in my work, the elescticity they offer they make them versatile and very playful. Lately I have bought tights in bold colours. Until them I had only used tan colour tights. I’m not very confident applying colour so i thought if I get the tights in colour ir will remove the stress of wanting colour but being too scared to spoil the tight.
In the piece I had sprayed the tight with the wadding inside with fucsia spray paint and it has given it another appearence. The wadding is not soaked and it dried pretty quick.
No sewing please, Paper mache experimenting…
At the beginning of the term back in beginning of October I started playing with cardboard and papier mache. I have been using fabrics for so many years that I have been advised by different tutors that I should really start using different materials and to experiment with them. So that’s what I did.
The result of playing with cardboard and papier mache ended up as a flower? shape with pointy petals, a very pretty shape I thought. However the papier mache although interesting to use was taking a lot time to dry also the whole progress of applying layers can be quite boring.
I wasn’t happy with the result, or better to say I wasn’t impressed, so I start experimenting further. I covered it with a mesh bath sponge, ummm…. not impressed, although the texture and the little wholes like honey pannels added an attractive asthetic, people made remarks on it so probably I should try again with mesh bath sponges.
The whole making more papier mache was putting me off a little bit so I carry on with the same piece over and over covering with fabrics, blankets, spray paint, electrical tape, hand embroidery, tights…
Was the size of the object the problem? Why do I need to add so many details to it? Once again I’ve learnt that a lot of colour is not beneficial as I don’t know very well how to avoid some colours clashing with each other. I made the promise to myself that a maximum of 3 colours will be allowed in my work from now own. It’s a scary statement and I feel like for now it might work but don’t want to close myself to the idea of that too much colour is not good.
A little bit of personal reflection before all the art talking starts,…
CAR=Freedom– transport
The car, oh my car, is giving me the feedrom that I haven’t had all these years. I’m a more productive person because I can do more in less time. Getting materials is now easy as I can reach places that if I didn’t have a car I probably would not have known of them. The car is the motor of all the work I’m creating this year. Is a reward of my bravery for passing the driving test. Is a discovery of a new self and this is reflected in my current work. An envy to reach stages that I have never been dare to do!
Thank you Micra
