I’ve got lots of plates spinning at the moment… but the big thing I think that’s troubling me is the MA final show. I have a body of work that could be ready now to show. But I can’t leave it at that till the end of August, that would be a complete waste of time, and the resources that being an MA student at Margaret St gives me.
I also feel I’m at a bit of a crossroads in my work – crappy timing really because I’m not feeling confident enough about the new direction to just dive in. I may end up doing some sort of performance. I’m thinking about it. I might sing. Live. Oh bugger.
I have another song to finish recording with Dan, which will definitely form part of the show. I will also have these items of clothing to show too.
I am interested in the way that listening to music in one space, affects the way you look at items in the next. I’m fascinated by what you carry with you from one space to the next. Will me singing add or detract from that?
Last time I had “Lullaby” playing in one dim place, then the textiles hanging in another. If I am singing in either space how will that affect it? Will I choose the same place, sit on the stairs and sing? I want to show that I’ve thought about it, taken what happened accidentally and exploited it. Developed it. I want to be brave and think I can see it working, but because it is new, I’m not confident.
