# 7 [22 May 2009]

Today I have decided to show you the list of things that may or may not interfere in some way with my project. This list was compiled whilst driving to work when I feel at my most awake..

saucer of milk

cocaine

conversations

low sounds

whispers

private ambulance

I fully intend to add to this list on a daily basis when I am feeling  at my brightest..

# 6 [14 May 2009]

sheds and castles, sheds and castles

# 5 [13 May 2009]

Drawing golden things

# 4 [11 May 2009]

I am laying into place

an infinite number of sequins

for the dirty rascal inside

the castle to which I refer.

# 3 [10 May 2009]

Today I have shuffled around my studio trying to decide where to place each piece of spliced, reconfigured and manipulated image together with the usual materials I have to create new work. I am undecided at the moment, wrestling with composition, colour and even scale of the subjects I have chosen to portray in this new series of abodes for my beautiful kings. Part of me really wants to push the size of the work more..I will need a more decisive state of mind as well as a larger area to work in for these to work. I am forever working behind myself. Ideas have been realised for the next reveal but I have the compulsive need to complete these before I can move onto the next stage...

The project is a slow - reveal. Over time, I will be exposing the next layer of the project. If all goes to plan, I will expose a series of landscapes from where my imaginary 'kings' reign. This project is multi layered in many ways as is the way I always appear to work. Its just knowing when to stop.

# 1 [8 May 2009]

I introduce 'Wimp'.. 

Also in this series are 'Gimp', 'Pimp', 'Mint', 'Limp' and 'Crimp'. All are Kings in their own right.
