Things that have occupied today’s thoughts:
1) My madder has arrived. i have some sachets of very fine rusty coloured powder and some rawer woody sachets too. i have no idea how to dye the fabric (or what sort of fabric i should dye), so i will speak to the Print Technicians at college on Monday and hopefully do some samples in the evening.
2) Norwich Shawls – and their size – relation to the scale of the human body.
3) Having work on opposite sides of the gallery, adjacent to the River Wensum, in the direction of trade.
4) The textile pieces by Blinky Palermo (i saw a retrospective in Dusseldorf about a year and a half ago and they have stayed in my mind ever since, existing somewhere in between conceptual/minimal art and textiles)
