So dangling some balls of dough from the ceiling in stockings actually panned out better than I expected. The dough was partially crusty on the outside, and then when others squeezed them, they got all gooey. It played with the idea of hard versus soft, and domesticity. I have included photos of the installation for viewing pleasure. Since the installation, I've been playing with different materials. I went shopping at Cascine this morning, and got fabrics and last night I got a bunch of trash bags. There is much playing and exploring to be done with these materials, and I've been making lots of lists of things I could fill the materials with, and ways that I could sensationalize them. That is what I've figured out, is that I am very into the transformation and sensationalizing of materials, and how to use them to affect an atmosphere. I, once again, do not really know where this will leave me, but I anticipate the experimentation with the materials I just snagged this morning! I am also thinking about working on some drawings that relate to the spaces I make, or playing with the photography of the spaces - so that I am branching out and using the creations in multiple ways. I am a little frustrated by time, but I'm not letting it get to me. It is not that I have too much work, but that I wish we had studio twice a week to be soley focused on that for such a long stretch of time. I love the work that ends up coming out of studio days and the day before it... afterwards, I always feel like I need to "unwind" or something, rather than continue pressing on a subject.
We shall see....
