The tax man has taken pretty much all our money leaving me with not much money to spend on materials. This has been tough as I have always being able to buy anything I have needed for the last 4 years. Now I have to be really resourceful and make work with any found materials or the ones I already have and leave money for important bits.
Anyway enough of crying…
These photographs are a series of experiments with an iron board. I wanted to deconstruct it and get all the bit and pieces separately to see what other work I could from it. These photographs have also served me too for a series of drawings on graphite paper (I will post this soon) exploring line and perspective. Drawing from observation it is becoming important again in my practice. It gives me the chance to observe closely and to focus on the object’s details to another level, it also calms me down.
Iron boards are curious and quite conflictive objects to me. They represent domesticity, but what do I try to say with them? I’m not entirely sure about it and I think I would like to have some feedback from classmates to see what they think. Am I just playing here with material looking for new work possibilities or is it there an underlining purpose…?
The enquire continues…
