Tues 22 July. McDowell’s Pie & Mash. Its unusual deep green windows are open; designed by the Proprietor’s father, she thinks. Flow of breeze, flow of people. Traditional food – pie a particular shape, pastry and meat particular browns, mash and liquor their particular consistencies.
We analyse reactions of people to our photographing round town and the use of pixilation to disguise identities or even locations. We speculate on ways of using animation or building mechanised images within McDowell’s. How different to working with neutral gallery spaces?
A question arises. What relevance are etching and hand-built mechanics (mine and Gordon’s interests respectively), once cutting edge of social development but overtaken by more viable processes? Could I live in my great grandmother’s clothes or she in mine?
We look for the next café. How to chart them all? Passing through the town square there’s thoughts about creating an inflated ideal landscape.
