spacetothink


 
The winter annual leave is a fabulous space to get lost in - not really knowing what time or day it is or even what your role is in this world can be liberating - this space is rare and it enables thoughts to flood in and interesting connections to be made in a practice usually taken up with lists of stuff to do. started to work on some ideas around shibori, connecting it with smocking and general stitch and bookmaking techniques processes including stab binding - we shall see when this work hits the dye baths next week. and then there are the films - old man with a gun - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2837574/ - beautiful and moving. searching - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7668870/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 - clever and sustainable. the favourite - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5083738/ - lavishly disturbing - what was that glorious soundtrack? yardi - looked and sounded good but the script...the spy who dumped me - just not funny enough. bird box - the premise was just annoying. meanwhile my latest obsession is Google Earth on my phone - in a whimsical moment I set out to look at the public art I have made to see if it exists - some of the work is too small to see or obscured by trees or I just haven't found it at the moment but here are some examples.
