A second day of turning the camera around to interrogate our working space…

Working in one of the other rooms of the warehouse that is our studio space, Andrew and I continued from yesterday’s exploration and attempted to catalogue everything we could see.

Again, I found lots of these splashes. Some have the appearance of faces, or tropical fish. Some are really quite aesthetically pleasing in their own right.

 

Andrew shot a variety of images today, at first focusing on the natural assemblages of shelves and then looking at the bristles of paint brushes in macro.

 

It was more difficult to categorise some of these images. For example, the coils of the washing line and the strange skin-like fabric and fluff seem to relate more closely to the biomorphic forms than to a straight cataloging of objects.

Today after a brief meeting with the core team at Pyramid of Arts, the organisation who provide studio space for Andrew and I to work together in, we learned that they are renovating a separate room just for us and the other 1-1 collaborations, which will be more like a traditional studio space or shared office, rather than a cavernous warehouse stuffed with art materials that is used by a variety of timetabled groups that we must fit around. This is very exciting news for us, we’re really looking forward to having our own private desk space and storage space, being able to decorate our area to our tastes, and being able to use the space 24hrs a day. It also makes this studio of our current studio space even more pertinent, since it now acts as a record of a moment of time, and as a way of saying goodbye to the old space.
