Actually it’s not as bad as I describe below. Although all those things are still happening, and although John Harris’s shotgun shack has turned out gargantuan, I’m left with a hefty portion of space.
Ok so my sculptures dont have sound/smoke eminating from them but stand out they shall!
…And why not?
Does the curvature of that brass as it’s weighed down by some fatty looking chip foam tickle you?
The objects are not just about the junction of materials but about the associations of those materials in your head. This would remind you of that but it if it was heavily aged, except this made of an entirely different material?!
“These little nods of time, rigidity, porous ness, corosion, flacidity, reflection and density between the objects are encapsulated in some neat references to modernist/minimalist sculpture and architecture.” There you go, thats what my degree show is about. Quite pleased with that sentance actually, might pop that in my artist statement later on.
If you’re a material perve like me you might like to know I’m attempting to patinate some copper in my kitchen at the moment. Here’s a good example of patinated copper: http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://lh6.ggpht.com/__PEdwyPZszA/SaZyJ9g5dOE/AAAAAAAAAvI/XA3uluobgek/PREPATINATEDCOPPERKMETecuPatinaEastleighBartonPeverilCollege.jpg&imgrefurl=http://picasaweb.google.com/BossMetalsLtd&usg=__PacaTAOjFDUA0-Rd1LUBg-0oQ8s=&h=1200&w=1600&sz=249&hl=en&start=32&zoom=1&tbnid=K5Od-WeKwoUSZM:&tbnh=148&tbnw=188&ei=b-TKTbHkDsvKiALOjP2dBQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dpatinated%2Bcopper%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN%26rlz%3D1C1AVSX_enGB416GB416%26biw%3D1600%26bih%3D799%26tbm%3Disch0%2C300&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=950&vpy=497&dur=2567&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=133&ty=115&page=2&ndsp=32&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:32&biw=1600&bih=799
Apparently with different ratios of salt, red wine vinegar and miracle grow you can get any colour from bright green, through the tourquoises to bright blue. Might look good with the full scale leather hide i recieved yesterday, I’d describe the leathers colour as ‘redwood’.
Tomorrow my baby-pink rubberised-foam mini-monolith will be ready for collection. It will stand under the weight of a concrete block (hopefully).
Anyway I’m off for a snack, a pork pie no less… I hope there’s not too much jelly in it! Although, I do like the look of the moist translucent jellyness next to the arid and compact pastry.

Couple of weeks until degree show. Theres going to be smoke machines, roof suspended massive dangling black diamonds and a deafening nuclear warning siren…
… and thats just in the room i’m in.
My work is quiet, humourless and fairly oblique. Will anyone notice it or just stub their toe on one of my sculptures while they kick swirls in the smoke with their fingers in their ears?
