  • Space/Intensity
  • Reductive games - taking away elements of colour, material, technique etc 
  • Play, play, play
  • Focus on one word to create a series of work
  • Hormones in soil - to research at a later stage

We talked about the textile art scene / fine art scene and ways of developing work / finding work / developing profile which was hugely helpful.

Change of plan

I began this week planning to make 3 pieces which would be around 80  x 80 cm. However, once I began work on one of the pieces, I found that there were two different things happening within the composition so I decided to cut the piece up and make 4 smaller pieces out of it. Each piece now measure 40 x 40cm. I find that I try to fit too much in, so chopping it up and moving things around naturally allows for more space within each piece. 
Below left - the piece prior to cutting up and one of the sections afterwards.

June Work

So far this month has been quite productive. We have a new puppy and he wakes me up at 5am, so I have been using the morning to sit and do some work. We are still in partial lockdown and it is becoming tiring but I am trying hard to see the blessings in this situation. My son, who is 6 is becoming familiar with my work and my mess and told me the other day that he could really tell that I loved being an artist. 

I have begun to work on one of the larger pieces, having made a few smaller sample pieces. As always the larger piece is already taking on a life of it's own and becoming independent of the pieces that went before it.
