There was a girl sitting opposite me on the bus the other day. She had lots of piercings and those scary ear rings that stretch the lobe so much that they flap about when she moved. She had an oversized portfolio – just to make it very clear that she was an art student and meant business.
She eyed my very large Tesco fairtrade canvas shopping bag and probably sniggered, thinking how ‘ordinary’ I was.
What she couldn’t possible have guessed though – was what was in that bag.
For the last three days, I’ve been carrying boxes of paper planes, houses and ships to work with me, so that I can store them safely, before building a very large installation from them. there are 15 boxes in all and rather than worry about getting them all in one go, I find it easier to carry them – all in my trusty shopping bag.
I wasn’t going to exhibit again this year, but the space was available and it just seemed a waste not to use it.
I don’t normally like showing work twice in the same city, but I I’ve never shown my 3 installations all in one go, so I’m curious to find out how this will work – if at all! I’ve had so little time to make any new work, so the least I can do is keep adding to this giant installation. Whether it works or not -I’ll find out next Tuesday.
Of course it hasn’t really been 2 months since I’ve done anything ( entry of last blog) I’ve just been too busy with other stuff , such as : www.a-n.co.uk/p/983947/ to write anything on this page.
