Progress?

I was in the space for four hours this morning and I managed to keep myself busy and created some new material. So perhaps Nic was right about the need to be in the studio groaning.
In particular Roberts advice to begin with obvious things and then problematize them helps too. Had Lisa in to see some progress, she said that I was onto something. I think in future I will stop explaining what the piece is about before I show any material...Its a bit too confusing to explain something I haven't done (magazine characters) and then show abstracted extras.
I'm really thinking about tones and how to create multilayered material. I feel good as though I'm on track and will vow to try and make SOMEthing every weekday from now untill the Bardsley/Poppy winterschool.

Am in the new CCA artists resource centre, using the free internet and it's a good feeling to be existing out of the RSAMD building. This space will come in handy and should be explored further. Also recieved an email from Shoal of Mackrel publishing house for a call for submissions. Perhaps I will put a submission in, and worry about funding the book only if my proposal is considered. Must contact Helen Shaddock at the Art School.
