Here is my 'space', no lovely corner with a window
overlooking a park scattered with fallen autumnal leaves to inspire me, but at
least I have some wall this time! For
those who have been to art college, you would understand that the matter of
space is one of total stress and drama; initially at the beginning of the year the crazy battle begins on the first day back
to claim the best spot, although a month in people usually give up and succumb with
a bitter acceptance that for the next few months at least they will be crammed
onto a table in the middle of a room (with no wall space) surrounded by people who are making far better work since
since they have better spot, obviously.
This whole few days of utter hysteria is only repeated
at the end of the year when the time comes to actually hang the work up, anyway
since we’re no way near at that point, all is well and I am quite satisfied
with my spot.
So since stating my concept in my statement of intent I’ve
been collecting lots of resources to work with. The best ones are from old
knitting patterns and housewife manuals, as well as some really amazing old
photos. They are so inspiring; I can’t wait to take my scalpel to them!
