Starting with the Easter Bank Holiday this week was truncated. I’d not been in the studio for six days when I arrived on Thursday morning. That’s not to say I’d been entirely idle, besides working on the 3d model for the garden film I’d done some sketches in the garden.

Sketchbook 20th April

These are looking for the marks that make the garden and also have notes that point towards the solutions for the models.

When I did get into the studio I moved the screen out into the space and started a new sculpture.

Garden Screen

The new sculpture ‘go,go,go, said the bird’ is one I started when I first moved in but put to one side.

‘go, go, go, said the bird’

In common with a lot of the things I’m building this is made from furniture left behind by the previous tenant.

On Friday I painted it white.

‘go, go, go, said the bird’

Ready to be drawn onto when it’s dry, and then made some sketches towards the newest big drawing.

The rest of the day was spent tidying and cleaning off the whiteboards that were left behind.
