As I trundle ever closer to my exhibition at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in July, I am keeping track of my thoughts, works-in-progress and bits of research material in a new blog here. The exhibition title is MAKE SHIFT, hence the blog name… can’t promise complete coherence, but hopefully it will give a bit more insight into what’s going into the work.
I had a great weekend at the park making some sketches with furniture for future works. These are places to shelter & hide.
There is now a little bit of information about me on the YSP website, as well as dates for the show. This must mean it is really happening! *gulp*.
I found this little magazine in Tate Liverpool today, it’s called Block.
They say that they are ‘a new magazine for writing – review, reflection, story, poem or polemic – on architecture, built space and the city and its representation or exploration through sketch, photograph, drawing and graphic image. Block aims to present architecture’s reflection across a wider field of contemporary culture, and its place within it.’
I love it. Issue 1 is called ‘The Modest’ and it is a recycled paper love-fest for all buildings plain and humble. AND it’s yellow. All in all, it’s made my day. Issue 2 is on ‘The Facade’ a subject that I constantly return to, so I am excited to see it.
