Project plans have been further pushed back due to a new job, but, I finally have my very own studio!
I have ideas to take the work that I started in November a few steps further, and now the possiblilities are endless due to alovely big space to work in..
I have been thinking a lot about the materials I have used in the past and what I would like to use and experiment with in forthcoming pieces. I was hugely inspired by, yet again, seeing Anish Kapoor's work in flesh at the current exhibition at Manchester Art gallery 'Flashback'. I love the materials he uses and the way he makes fairly ordinary materials mesmerising by changing the way one would normally see their form, structure and pairings with other materials.
I can see some parallels with this and the ways I have used certain objects in my work (I am in NO WAY comparing my work to Anish Kapoor's sculptures...!) However, the way I applied text on paper, but unconventionally arranged it, and how I have placed cobblestones on the pavement to illustrate walking, but you can't actually walk on them..
This really excites me, and now that I am aware of being drawn to certain objects and materials but would never consider using them in a conventional way, I am looking forward to taking this further...
