Time to reflect and consider the next project

Well the first show is nearly over and its certainly nice to walk into my studio space and revisit the current work on display. During my last visit I started to consider what installation I would like to create next in my studio. For now I will post a few images that will sample some the direction of my next works for studio 1 projects.






The above images document small proof works that I created early in 2010 using masking tape and painted paper. They are the first works to be created after the completion of what was an intense two year studying period completing a Master of Arts, Coursework program in 2009.

For me these works were a continuation from the previous body of work, testing the waters on my own so to speak. Putting into practice the methodology of creating my artwork similarly to the methods I adopted at Uni during the Masters program. They remind me of how I felt at the time a few months after finishing Uni I experienced real difficulties making sense of things something that still continues to some degree now, perhaps that is not supposed to go away who knows. I also realised at this time that above all else for me the artwork is the most important it subsumes all other aspects of my art practice and is the core issue for developing and carrying through this series of artworks in my studio space through the studio1projects. I find it strange how the mind works though at the time I could find no order in my thoughts I still remained with an intense drive to make my artwork and at this future point in time I certainly look forward to working with these formats in a large scale installation for my next studio 1 project completion I aim to be July at this stage.
