i have started making work for 2 up coming solo exhibitions. one is in october and the other is in february. the plan is to use some of the same work for both exhibitions.
i have been doing some tests for a few new ideas, in the kiln,
with sandblasting and stencils
these are some of the results from the tests that i like. the black on black fire polished image will be used in a piece for the show, as well as fire polished black and white image,
i have been cutting and grinding and sorting out the glass that i have in my studio, seeing if it will be useful for the new work.
and i have been planning, and thinking and making lists, doing sketches, taking photos, trying to make my ideas clear and let the creative process inform the work.
i have also spent many hours and many pieces of paper looking at images and photographs, and editing them in photoshop and printing them out to try and come to some final decisions.
it has not been easy, but i guess this part never should be, in fact until last weekend i was still unsure about what i was going to make, but then i had a few good ideas fit, and now i think i am on a path to make some really good new work. only time will tell.
