Bad at the blog

Well its almost over and i am only now posting a blog.... technical difficulties??

The work is developing, maybe not in the studio... . . . . seems you always need more?

This place was a sewing machine shop in kyoto.
If it was a garage there would have been full of really beautiful old porsche's, farrari's and an array of britsh cars from bond films and one big old american muscle car...... oh and in the corner under a tarp a sliver of a lambo showing its rims...

Studio

Going between home, where the oven is, and the studio, where everything else is.

My polyester draperies are lifting the tone of the studio.



Here they are, effortlessly lifting the mood of a studio surface. Casual, yet elegant. If you squint you don't really notice the fraying.

Working/Teaser

So it's a bit late, but here are some pictures. These are my reference images du jour, not the work itself.

I'm not turning gallery 3 into a shop exactly - it's not that precise an exercise - but I'm building two window display spaces into, well, the windows.





I don't want to give too much away.

The project was called Unfinished Business, but I've changed it. Now it's called Rise and Fall. I like it better. It implies something about empires, and also dichotomies. And it's narrative, for which I am a big sucker.



Everything I'm making is becoming text. It wasn't supposed to be like that. But it's everywhere.
