I hadn’t really thought at any point what i could possibly name my piece as, I have been feeling pretty apathetic towards the project, however a good chat with Sarah Taylor allowed for me to think about what I was making and what it really meant. My work is currently dealing with the idea of spoils and how things may disintegrate and be ruined but still remain precious and perhaps more beautiful in their delicate nature. By looking at this area I have chosen to emphasize spoils within my laser cut work, and so I have chosen to simply call the piece, ‘Spoils’.
I have been trying to think how to place my work, what I am actually going to exhibit, which as a curator is obviously part of the deal. I want it to compliment the space and I realized my ‘odd’ and disjointed objects do appear very much lost so this will fit nicely with the title, however I am still not entirely sure what I will be showing, only that I want to exhibit slides. I found a slide enlarger today in a charity shop. I was initially going to project slides but there has been a constant issue with space and I kind of want to just sneak of somewhere small and not be part of the confrontation. The slide magnifier solves this meaning people may view the images whilst not taking up masses of space, nor needing sockets.
Yay!

Catch up
I haven’t done a post in a while, so there’s a few new bits of news, Lucy has asked people to fundraise by donating blood and having people sponsor them. I myself cannot do this due to restrictions in piercing etc; however I will be trying o get people to sponsor me.
Jonny has come up with a poster, which looks pretty cool, it’s pretty much been in the running for a while but we were waiting on sponsors to confirm so that we had ALL information, I just hope we get it printed in time now.
In kind of less good news, the catalogue is no longer a go go. It seems we would not be able to raise funds, as well as people just being too elusive to get hold of for details. However Ruth has very sweetly been doing an entire website for us all, which will have our details of the exhibition and links our work online on blogs, personal websites and such, so we’ll be giving out leaflets, which will refer attendees to the exhibition space.

That is all for now.
