See above some work going on in the project space at college . . . . just a snippet . . . . (I could be found tramping in mud wearing it early one morning in my garden attempting an authentic 'look' for my fairy tale :0) - would be interested to hear any ideas as to what tale you think this portion of an image refers to? (will show you more of the bigger picture soon) . . . .
I'm also excited because I just found this image:
Having recently sold it at Cannizaro House (yay), I was berating myself for not documenting it, but here I find a record of it (yay again). Called 'Beneath', and made with acrylic and household paint, ink, collage and glitter on board. Thank you to the person who bought it if you ever read here :)
things I'm enjoying:
Wishing to reflect a little more on good things and precious moments - below are some of those:
:: enjoying hot buttered crumpets and homemade spring rolls with sweet chilli dip
:: sneaking a quiet morning alone at this gallery and looking at works by Mark Wallinger and various film/performance pieces as I explore this in my own work
:: an accompanied visit to this gallery, with a meander around a farmers/food market trying tastey morsels of home-made food on a glittery bright day :)
:: spending long hours in the studio fulfilling (or attempting to) ideas for new pieces
:: learning how to tweak wordpress to get my online MA research folio up and running - I will link to it one day when it's more cohesive ;)
:: meandering with a good friend around an excellent carboot and finding large keys and old clocks for further fairy tale ideas
:: getting excited and preparing for this show coming up that I'm doing with 6 others - again, more to come soon
:: my daughters interesting and inspiring art work and talent
:: my son learning how to play chess (even if he does want to play it every 5 minutes!)
:: lighting an array of candles and watching them transform a room as I attempt to heat the coldness of my house (when I believe the heating to have broken down on the coldest day!)
:: doing a mixtape event at college. This involved those who wanted compiling their favourite tunes listened to whilst making art, with an image of their studio space on the CD cover. Such fun, a party ensued as we listened to the sounds (do try doing this swap with friends) and so I discovered this song
:: I've been meaning to watch this film all Christmas: Orphee in the name of art and research, and so I'm off to sneak a watch of it now

Wow, what an amazing and rich start you are having to 2012, Amelia.
ReplyDeleteI love how the backdrop for the dress, although static, conveys the same fluid feel as the fabric itself. Also how the book seems almost to have picked up the hem of the dress and be leading it somewhere. Not sure what take it might refer to though !!
Yay - the Crypt at St Martins - that is an amazing space to be in. I'll certainly try and pop in as I should be in London at least once February/March time.

i'm stumped on this one!!
ReplyDeleteLove the mixed tape idea...what an awesome and creative project!!
it just hit me...beauty and the beast!???
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie - would be great if you could make it! And Kathryn, your response is really good for me because I've been playing with blending and doing my own interpretation of the fairy tales that break away from what we 'know' from Disney etc. This is actually a take on Cinderella. Really I need to work on the title and show you the whole image and I will do that soon and you can let me know what you think! Thanks :)
