Do you start from questions or from answers? a day spent at a foundry exploring the potential of the activities peripheral yet integral to the actual casting of work. Working with the negative spaces within the sand casting of ingots was interesting - working inside out with negative space - a great day of rethinking. 

onto films - The Act of Killing https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2375605/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 if you want to watch it - you can on YouTube - your life will be altered - truly one of the most disturbing films I have ever seen and there is no actual violence, bad language or sexual oppression. But the casual way in which these things are talked about and then reenacted will change you and your thoughts on human nature - haunting.

I spent the afternoon yesterday at the studio of sculptor Laurence Edwards casting negative space - it's a great place to think and my time there allowed me the opportunity to play with 'traditional' materials - it was really nice to be around like minded people and have the stuff of stuff lying around to allow space to reflect on the nano project. https://unfoldingthinking.blogspot.co.uk/ Laurence's work is becoming monumental with lots of technical issues to be solved which I like watching, you can feel solutions in the air, the space is all about process. http://www.laurenceedwardssculpture.com/
