Well, off to Berlin again next week. This is to discuss proposals for the Pavilion at Milchhof. I have set all dolls aside for the last few weeks, working on ideas for the exhibition. It has been a real pleasure actually, to work on small, collaged images in the sketchbook. It really does not feel like real work, perhaps I should have followed my original career choice, that of illustrator.
Anyway, ideas have developed over the last few months, partly by playing around in the studio. For example, I saw an exhibition at Hauser and Wirth a few months ago, I can’t remember the artist’s name, but he had done some drawings on board, working into wet paint. Experiments with this process lead me to an idea for a way of incorporating my drawings into a sculptural installation. I really wasn’t expecting that.
I have tried to develop a work that reflects the drawings I made in Berlin, my interest in the Baroque decoration of the Palace at Charlottenburg and the architecture of the Pavilion itself.
It will be interesting to see the space again, having been thinking about it continually for the last month or so.
