Well I have completed my dead foliage works and feel that there’s development possible. Lots of ideas coalescing, though I want to ensure that the work doesn’t just morph into conceptual jewellery? Though I suppose I should think more in terms of why is this a problem across a broad intuitive practice? And therefore I must just make what I want to make?
Also enjoyed contributing to the Perspective show at Farnham Library Gardens. A great opportunity to give an idea lurking quietly in the background some life and see the potential…
I’ve started making experimental pieces with dead foliage, continuing my interest in beauty, often missed that is all around us. And what I find fascinating is how easy you can fall into the trap of the ‘known’ even return to a former way of working that is redundant? So seeing that some of my initial thoughts were better than the piece I was working on- I took a step back and almost started anew-and felt much better…
Also going to contribute to a show in Farnham Library Gardens ‘Perspective’ with a group of student artists from Farnham Art College
Though I haven’t much time to prepare I feel its a great opportunity to follow on from my tiny steps in setting work up outside. Its a great space with some really interesting trees
Later I have the difficulty of dividing my time between selecting components for garden artworks and working on the dead foliage project-though perhaps its all one and the same- just me imagining they are different activities when its all just un spoken thoughts…
When in doubt draw, and though I’ve sited the body as a key theme weirdly I’ve been making box and frame like forms, hey hum
