Week 1
I have been thinking about turning the way I view my own work from previous projects on its head – instead of intuitively looking at composition, progression I am taking a step back from what I feel is the final outcome, changing my perspective on my primary collages and sketches and planning to weave them into a projection, or into the filmed documentation showing the progression and transition of an idea. David has also given very solid advice to not go with what you feel or what your normal stages of work would be, but to refresh my approach and try something that is out of my creative box, allowing me to grow as an artist.
The notion of my sketches and collages a
s a projection would be quite minimal as I often feel like I have shown my methods and documentation with but separate to the final outcome, stopping once the physical object is completed. It would be interesting to take the sculptural interpretation of the collages and continue to make the physical work, but for the final outcome to be a visual experience rather that a physical sculpture, and this would be broadening my creative intention towards my practice.
Reading peter Eisenman’s ‘Diagram Diaries’ I came across these two quotes: the first is about the technical aspects of lines and dimensions and the process through which shapes become diagrams;
“Technical preconditions that would allow modern architecture to refound itself... on the twin bases

The more I research salt the more connections it seems to have with the human condition, culture and identity.
I wanted to use the residency as an opportunity to really consider the medium I work with. To explore its properties, to play with it, to learn about it, to understand its benefits and limitations. Playing with materials is such a vital part of my artistic process; it allows me to experiment and expand my thoughts, seeing the materials move, change and react allow me to visually transfer text-based research and ideas through symbolism. I will not adopt a masterly tone and bore you, rather allow me to take you on a visual journey
Both salt and water are essential and detrimental to our existence. The first part of this process was seeing what would happen to a chunk of Himalayan salt under a running tap within a few minutes the water created a hole within the salt. What was dry on the surface was now glistening and part translucent.
