I think I should probably extend my promise to also going into the studios early on Monday mornings - it is definitely the best time for work, in that there is no one else around. I scurried to Sainsbury's to buy two rolls of cling film, one roll of tin foil, flour and icing sugar, before returning to my space with a look of glee. Proceding to unroll foil and cling film, I revelled in the material mass unravelling at my feet.
As far as my purchased powder elements, I'm currently trying to find a more cost efficient material than Johnson's Baby Powder (though it smells the best, by far) I'd also just like to see how these other options work on the cling film in particular. The icing sugar seemed to act in a similar way to the talc, which is what I was hoping for.
These shots are from today's studio 'play time'. (What? Art's pretty fun!)
Among the material excitement, I've been writing my dissertation proposal, which is due tomorrow morning at our first meeting. (I know what you're thinking, and no, I'm not using blogging as a tool to postpone work - it's already printed out. Second gold star.) I haven't quite formed my argument, but I have lots of interesting sources, just waiting to be called upon. In short, I want to write about art and memory; art and recall; art and the importance of remembering (pretty short). Something like that. Really, I just want to write about Cornelia Parker. I'll do a proper rant about how much I adore her work another time, when I'm not literature-ly exhausted (definitely going to coin that wordplay).
N'night x
