Another busy day and late night today.
I have managed to do some work which I’m not sure about it but at least I have tried to create something new from scratch.
Today I bought around 2200 Minky multipurpose cloths in yellow, pink, blue and green. I have now have 46 packets with 50 cloths in each packet. The pressure is on now because I kind of have to do something with them!!
I had in my mind this idea of building a house with the packets but 46 packets are not enough, I will have to have like 200 packets and that is crazy and EXPENSIVE…
Having had the scholarship has been amazing, to be able to buy things as I needed them is such a luxury but it can also makes you feel anxious as you want, or I want to make the most of this opportunity.
People in B&Q were just stunned by seeing my trolley full of coloured cloth and I had a nervous smile as I was thinking what the f*** you have just done!!!????
I still have the receipt and I have told them that I might come back for a refund if I don’t use them.
Now with degree show approaching I can’t stop thinking what to do, should I sew, should I use objects… ???
I needed to make today like crazy. I have been the whole Easter break, either looking after my daughter, doing things at home or writing this blog and draft. I got late to the studio and I only was able to work until 4.30pm.
I have used the cloths, the laundry baskets that I bought in Asda (and I nearly bought the whole lot), some ice creams spoons that I was given by the some classmates in sculpture and stuffing.
I keep remembering of what Joana Vasconcelos said: to put things together is easy, they look pretty but what it is important is to have an idea and then get the material. I hope I was able to work like that! Or maybe I’m been lazy.
Must go to bed because my eyes are closing… Need some rest now.
Anyway this is what I have done for the crit tomorrow, it is not finished just yet, got tomorrow between 9 and 11am. I hope the whole thing doesn’t look dull, or not too much.
