Day... can't remember.

Right... this project has gone completely not in the direction i was hoping... which definitely speaks for a lot of things that happen in life. Anyway having moved this "Wall Piece" to the floor and then back again i fear for the survival of the piece as it was constructed on very thin paper. Now i rather regret smothering it so thickly in paint, actually in an ideal world i wouldn't have used paper at all, i would just paint on the wall (but in my current living arrangements this is not possible.)

Anyway this is what happened. First step a splash of white...


Then some colour...



To break up the colour I think adding the cut up pieces of previous work make the abstractness of the colour co- inside with the squareness of the paper parts.



Here is what is done so far, however i think it needs to be cropped to the second slide. Cutting the edges makes for a better composition, I think.

New Year-ish.

Considering it is mid April I think it is slightly misleading of me to call this a new year post... however since it is in fact a new year from when I last posted and i am going to leave it as such.

I have started a new project, I want to head back to my foundation and revisit work i was doing then. Mainly due to my lack of time i need to work on projects that are quick, easy and very tangible. You might recognise imagery that I have used before however I plan on coming to a very different end to that of previous work. This however is still very much a work in progress.

These are just snap shots of what I call The Wall. The beauty of this piece is it will grow over time, consider it a jigsaw puzzle which pieces have not yet been made.


THE WALL








Here are some ideas of what I want to put in the masking taped area...
