Sitting in the Hub at the Bluecoat stealing free wireless in the midst of day two of install for Remnants. Hannah and Keiron are in today so things have picked up with a photograph from Keiron framed and Hannah in the middle of constructing a shelf for her delicate yet forceful piece.

I have found the process of spatial consideration for my piece very enlightening. It’s not that often have the chance to experiment within a large space (ie not my studio). The work has evolved drastically over the last 48 hours. Now, it appears to be a minimalist vehicle, a considered piece with few overall components. This is quite opposite of my working style so I have found it hard to take a leap of faith so to speak…I guess I shall see if it is deemed a success or not.

I have started to install ahead of Remnants the exhibition of work by Keiron Finnetty, Hannah Fray and myself at the Lost Soul and Stranger Service Station. The venue is a project space at the Bluecoat and is voluntarily run by the resident artists at the Bluecoat. I have spent the afternoon working with objects on the floor of the space. I love working in his manner – a proper David Smith technique of laying down in front of you and layering/arranging objects in order…minus his cigars.

I may put these images on the site, but I prefer to keep them for my own reference. Update tomorrow and a photograph now I have fixed my camera.
