one really positive aspect of this
project has been to work in new ways - examining an established
working practice is always positive in the life of an artist, throwing up new
issues and ideas to consider. Learning from making, attempting to make work
that has no definite ending in terms of what it should be or even look like and
to embark on new ways of making is exciting, although a little worrying – a
good state to be.
an example has been a piece of work that has
turned into a ‘quilt – type’ object. Starting off as the interesting material
left after sublimation printing – which was then folded – joined together as
one length – folded pieces of tracing paper were attached as if sections in a
book onto the length – folded into 4 as if a map - tracing paper ripped out
(leaving small elements as traces) – pleats added – length folded into a
bookwork – abandoned - cut into squares – some elements turned to view the back
– all elements joined to make a quilt – finished.
