I have begun a large drawing in the studio - the point of which is to explore the narrative that is evolving around current concerns within my practice. The drawing compliments the structures I am creating in the studio, and more importantly - in my head. Each works with and against the other. As the text increases in size it takes on a presence of its own and becomes more than words. It is shifting and slipping as more lines are added -the end shape will reflect the thought. The writing is 'normal' size even though the paper is over five meters long. Making progress with the drawing today - it is feeding thoughts around the other aspects of my studio work - I knew it would. It feels good after a period of uncertainty. Things are flowing more easily now. Studio progression since the start of the Monologue Drawing. Update - it is growing.
This space is an extension of my Studio Practice - intended to act as an on-line reflection point - research notes - visual soliloquy or essay. Reviewing current works from London and beyond to expand knowledge and explore current discourse around contemporary art practice.
