Carbon copy

Carbon copy herringbone drawings.

Been reading William Morris’s Useful Work V. Useless toil. All very man vs machine. Hence Carbon copys…. plus my dads a printer. Its part of Penguins Great Ideas series which are really nice little books to collect. Next on my list Walter Benjamins The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. Keep it industrial.

Next up….. Big paper big copies, getting some pads made up.

Going going gone.

Admittedly its been gone a while but I wont be forgetting about it anytime soon. Mainly due to the back pain.

Here’s some pics of the final piece I’ve submitted for my degree show. A 14ft tiled square grid that compresses and references the original features of the space. You too can walk this way from Tuesday 30th June-Saturday 4th July at Byam Shaw School of Art, Archway North London. (PV 29th June) more details can be found here. Interestingly my course is at the bottem of the list..

Week Won.

Here’s some images of the set up for my degree show, day 3. I’m installing a grided floor that when stood on compresses. The room itself isn’t completely square so i am making a’ frame’ for the grid to sit within. The 7×7 grid will be in 49 4 tile sections, painted grey to reference the original flooring. Think site specific, Sol Le Witt and Robert Morris.

Its amazing how out of date these photos from Wednesday are already! The walls up, things are looking cleaner slicker whiter better and I have acquired some excellent jigsaw skills. Bring on next week which will include lots of sanding and finishing. maybe some video clips of the floor being used aswell. The picture above is Anna, my ace first year helper painting the frame.

More more floor! (how do you like it how do you like it?)

Its all happening. Moved into my degree show space yesterday. This is a picture of the beggining of the day with some floor panels fully foamed and some not, by the end of the day it was pretty much down. Still lots to do though. Updates will happen all next week…. in the meantime Ill be drawing like a mad woman and trying to sort out some lovely new things for LIK + NEON before my glorious return back to the Devon seaside. YES.

To test is best.

Its anyones guess whats happening to my photo upload/sizing skills at the moment but ah well. Heres a little test piece of my floor that im making for the degree show. It moves. Ever so slowly and ever so simply. No need for compression springs, hinges or other mind blowing defices. The technique? Well thats a secret my friends, like Irn Bru or KFC’s 12 herbs and spices no one will ever really know.
