Archery Drawings : I

A collaboration with Scott Sheridan. 

Smithereens II:

Some lovely ladies came over and gave me a hand sanding back the eggs.

Here's some of the marks we made.

Smithereens:

Swatches:

"And he gave to the forsaken, All from the rich he had taken."

Quick Sketch:

Despite the organic nature of the "eggs", I still feel a compulsion to sand them back before adhering both sides together.

I love the marks that come onto the sandpaper from the chalk, 

You can barely see it but I tried sketching some eggshells onto the top of the chalk / sandpaper.

The Song of the Rotten Bridge.
Deep is the abyss, son, 
I see the weak bridge sway
But it's not for us, son, 
To choose the way.

The way I know
Is the one you must tread,
And all you will eat 
Is my bit of bread.

Of every four pieces you shall have three.

- Bertolt Brecht ( The Caucasian Chalk Circle)

Work in progress: Thesis (Swatches + Wool)

                         

Considering symbolism, emotions and how to condense 7000 words into two without further conversation.

Colour is one of the ways I'm trying to wrap my head around it all (literally).

 Abstracting, creating, destroying are a few of my favourite things so in case you were wondering why I have been asking a lot about colours lately that is why. 

Knitted bows,bracelets and necklaces are a way of me surveying colour choice of people and what it represents to them on an aesthetic, emotional, symbolic level then considering what role they play in my life and how it shapes my perception.
