A quick and excited post – after yesterday‘s ambivalence, today I’m definitely moving forward.
Overnight I remembered the very first project of Mixed Media for Textiles – Folding and crumpling.
Two A4 pages from yesterday’s printmaking have moved into three dimensions.
The first has a few strategic cuts, but remains a single, connected, piece of paper – nothing added nothing removed. The photos show it rearranged a few times.
The second was folded and crumpled, with one spot of glue added. It’s quite stable – the photos are different angles of the same form.
So we have:
* bringing forward what I’ve done before (mine-ing my history)
* data viz potential, with folding and interlacing in three dimensions making concrete a humanist view of non-linear time
* a path towards small sculpture
* an intuitive, experimental work process
* I’m sure there’s more, but I have brain fizz
