Richard:
I have decided to throw myself a little further along this thought path before my laptop beds down for the night. I had forgotten what Ross sounded like; we have just had out first Skype conversation about a possible exhibition/outing for our project. Two strands of thought rang truer than others. One of which being Ross’s idea to produce a wall drawing in the gallery, the wall drawing would act as a piece of work in its own right, depending on the amount of time we have to install the exhibition, and it would also be a framing mechanism for a series of my own drawings on paper – themselves unframed and instead simply mounted on to the wall. The ‘working’ together would come from a direct conference between Ross and me: a forwarding of pattern arrived at through his drawing process and the more figurative embellishments of my own drawing process.
The second strand of thought that we both chimed upon, is that of setting out Ross’s other framed drawings – themselves being larger in scale than my own pencilled arrangements – in and around and upon the collective objects I would otherwise use in an installation.
So at this moment I envisage up to five small drawings of my own somehow framed and sequenced by Ross’s direct wall drawings. I also envisage Ross’s framed and larger drawing propped against the wall and arrived at curatorially by the object I arrange in the space.
Concurrently then, both myself and Ross will bring both a set of planned drawings to the exhibition setup and also a working process that we will apply to the space during install. Objects/plinths/barriers/pathways and Wall-drawings/frames/strands/labels.
Hope this is enough of a list for you Ross. No images with this post as I am on someone else’s computer and do not have access to my library.
