I mainly spent the day deciding what I wanted to do for my following pieces. I was going to work on my second painting but as the first layers weren't dry yet I decided against it - I wanted them to be more concealed/dry so the texture would still remain when I added more paint to it.
I did some sketchbook work such as working on artist research and updating my notes - also I worked on my Collective Writing book by just adding a few extra pictures, some writing and doing a small amount of stitching. I decided that I did like the idea of using some stitching in my work but I don't want to use it too often - I think a subtle amount will look good but I don't want a book full of threads! I think it looks too cliche' so I will use it sparingly and to sew in images or just to work on fabric a little.
My plan for tomorrow is to create small installations with the fragments of items I have - I want to use my "CD collections" to create a mini piece on the wall. This is just an idea to begin with to get the ball rolling for more pieces. I want to use the following items: bottles (alcohol containers) which I will use both as items and as holders for smaller things, pages from books, natural items, items of clothing. I plan to create small installations/photography pieces using these items - just trying out ideas and compositions. If the pieces don't turn out so well then I will use them as demo pieces and probably include them as photographs in other pieces. I have fabrics that I have dyed that I will use as floor pieces or backgrounds for my installations - also previous paintings that didn't work out as well as I wanted. All pieces will be used as development as the project is about the unconscious then the progress of the work is important to show the stages of my mentality.
