A new direction?

Its been almost 2 weeks since I was away running the Amsterdam Marathon.

Beforehand, there was plenty time to see a few things: the newly re-opened Stedelijk museum is bigger than its previous incarnation, and we saw just about half.

Just two of many. Its the technique/surface and the way of portaying a subject that makes me want to know more.

It´s a mostly mental thing and after running the marathon I don´t want to do much and everything feels a little pointless. It takes a week to establish a better working routine (although I´m breaking it again today). But it seems to work - in the studio before 9am, work until after lunch and then library. Run in the afternoon, although it is now dark at 5pm.

I´m not sure about the objects and things. They are just not interesting enough - maybe there needs be a lot more to start with which can then be paired down reduced, edited and considered.

I started a series of drawings like this:

 

 

Which are interiors, which leads us back to domestic space rather than singular objects.

 

 

So, last week my studio looked like this:

 



Which doesn´t look like a lot as we are now in week 7.


Kms run last week: 4!
Book on loan from the library: 16?
