Repetition, incongruities of scale, figuration and autobiography, are, I think, recurring elements of my work.
I have some interesting Rook video that I want to match with ‘Rook like’ performance.
Unfortunately the likeness of behaviours has a limited life span.
Our University Canteen Exhibition last week involved me in a performance of ‘ironing white shirts’ and watching a video of other daily activities whilst dressed in clothing portraying an exageration of stereotypical femininity.
Where will it all end????????
Canteen Ironing
Bobby Baker presentation inspired. I was so excited about the performance and it mostly went according to plan. I had timed my slideshow so that I knew, when it got to the last slide, I had about 45 secs to finish off.
I cannot believe how much time I spend thinking about what I am doing. After tutorials I often find it hard to sleep or I wake up thinking about what I need to do next.
I have been struggling with two parts of my ideas which I felt needed to be joined up better. One of these parts is about everyday repetitive ritualised behaviours, tasks and activities. The other is about my relationship with this Rook figure, which is larger than me.
It is a bit like a nightmare aparition but isn’t because it is protective and symbiotic.
