After a couple of speed posts, I am off to 224 Wallace to clean the windows. I hope I can chisel away years of industrial grime and secrets before the end of the day so that I can install a few panels! Still have miles to go before I can sleep...much of the blue area left to cut. Check out Heather's website--it has loads of info about the artists in the show and Heather's art and curatorial projects. I am looking forward to seeing all the work and performances this weekend.
More later. As ususal, let me know what you think.
I am thinking again about cities but instead of looking at how to create spaces for human interaction, I am thinking about the city in a more abstract way. I think in my next project I want to look at how we carve out spaces and why and how that effects us (the people living in those spaces). But, I would like to express this visually. Also thinking about text and how to use it. I may include it in the Wednesday Wallace work.
I am again really enjoying the cutting and finding it to combine my love of carving woodblocks and drawing and the color of painting. More images later.
"Cities like dreams are made of desires and fears, even if the thread of their discourse is secret, their rules are absurd, their perspectives deceitful, and everything conceals something else." Invisible Cities, Italo Calvino, III, p. 43,
