Observations, questions and actions from the week in the studio

Painting back the studio wall
-
It takes a couple of days to install the wall work.
-
Find the price of getting vinyl cut.
-
Explore alternative methods to vinyl – can I pre-cut in tape the shapes I need?
-
A two colour wall work is an option but will increase install time by a day. This will also increase cost. Use projector to only paint the “white areas”.
-
Be confident in how much / how little I install in the space.
-
A single small work can hold a wall.
-
Think about the dialogue between the works in the show. Positioning affects the conversation.
-
Confidence, confidence, confidence.
-
What if I only presented two works – one wall work and one small painting?
-
Scale of mark in relation to the object.
-
Scale of one work in relation to another.
-
A magazine page pinned to a wall could be more than enough.
-
The magazine blackout forms are anchored, the ones on blank paper are not.
-
Take the blackout forms from the magazines and reproduce them in other mediums with / without a background.
-
The significance of the magazines (or not).
-
The importance of the act of erasure (or not).
-
Concentrated works.
-
Pieces working from a distance and up close.
-
Same song, different parts / harmonies.
-
Gesture / mark making as the common denominator.
-
The practicalities and restrictions of the install time.
