In order to make new work i will keep generating it in the same way that i have throughout the semester as it seems to be effective in leaving me with a variety of outcomes which all have a subtle link to one another. I have found a white air-drying putty that has been helpful in allowing me to quickly flesh out any ideas that i have, it also carries less weight and associations than using something like clay, making the work more ambiguous and interesting to me. I am thinking about producing a set of drawings and/or diagrams that will become starting points for a new body of sculptures. I have been reading about Sarah Lucas and Claes Oldenberg which appears to have refreshed my work as I was about to hit a wall of confusion a week ago. I have done some experimentation with sound and video to accompany my work (Jim i have yet to show these to you) which has been enjoyable as it is new to may so i may continue to do so, mainly with sound if it seems appropriate to whatever it is that i am making.
Work that i produce forward of here will still be loosely based on domestic life. It will also adopt notions gender; what it is to be male/female. Stereotypes interest me as they are often humorous although sometimes derogatory and crass. I think this interest has come from looking at Sarah Lucas and the rawness and sexuality within her work. I also have an interest in mundane or everyday issues or moments such as growing old or a hug, whether or not these ideas will become important to my work I am yet to find out. Things that are commonly said like "loosing your marbles" and "pick up your balls" in a metaphoric way may be interesting and/or funny to present literally. The personification of objects seems to also be evolving out of my work.
