Note: The blog doesn’t have to be journalistically written. It’s too self conscious, lacks honesty as it’s more performative. It can be notes, lists, images. A subconscious free flow is perhaps better. I have also included a bad photo and resisted the temptation to edit too much.
Bundles today I like bundling objects - multiples. I want bundles of all sorts of things.
Plaster dipped burnt wood. Pelican feathers. Sculpt a pelican in hard plaster?
It was good to get my hands on materials - finally collecting some copper and wicks. The materials tease me. Just their presence goads next to create, something anything.
I’m conscious that I want this blog to be written in a much more analytical and academic fashion, with pithy insight and formal art history references. But I will leave it at… today I like bundles and materials.
Re Image/// The place of drawing. I love these organic and diagramming drawings. They feel like they have such a strong place in art/ artists process.
