one more to build and destroy and make - done

Well that is except for the 110 small/tiny/barely existent objects , I am still to make by September (to represent the 110 severely endangered languages). Of course this is my self imposed deadline.

So here it is!

18 languages still strong

So stage one is made, 18 vessels completed as I start the next stage of this work I started 23 months ago.

Maybe it will be worthwhile

Seems to me that it is complete madness that I started making the first vessel object back in 2011, first one completed in April. How does time move so quickly, the weeks and months escaping me. Sometimes there is just a glimpse that it maybe a worthwhile endeavour (if you call art that). 

These objects are time consuming and often frustrating. Right now, I am determined to keep the momentum I have developed in the last 6 weeks and complete 20 of the objects by 31st December 2012.  This will allow me to reflect in January on the work, look the collective objects at a decent development point, until then I will be twisting, wrapping and winding.......
 

Inspiration - Claire Watson

Inspiration to the maximum, Claire Watson.

I am always looking for artists that work with textiles to make sculpture. I need to learn, be inspired and reference what is happening it the broader art universe. I then search among the few to find artists who utilise worn clothing as their material. Here I discovered the inspiration of Claire Watson.
