Filming and Drawing and Lines and Windows

Hiya

Wow, OK.

Work going well. Drawing and painting on these big long rolls of different sorts of paper, on the studio floor, is really great. It's opened up a whole big bunch of stuff in my practice to do with film an music and landscape and journeys. And the way marks and lines and Compositions can function in different ways when worked on and presented/viewed in different ways.

the idea of looking at a whole painting, with bits everywhere. There is movement created within the work that propels the eye from part to part.

Snaking these lines out - always moving forward on the roll (10 meters long, 33 cm wide) - means that you don't need to propel the eye around the picture. the movement is generated, and the marks and lines become alive when the piece is filmed. or viewed with only a section of the picture viewable at any one time. It's like animation. Its like Film storyboards. anyway, i'm in a bit of rush, just to say that where this work is going is ticking a lot of boxes. it's making more sense of how my practice relates to film and music and landscape (the stuff i like). Well it's making laods of sense.

I was on the train yesterday comming back from the massive Bauhaus do it your self harware store near Laim. It involved exploring a new route. Going on a tram i hadn't before, navigating a new part of town. I then looked at a shot from my studio that morning, one with a big brush mark across the wall and then two rolls shooting out towards the camera (lots of perspective...roads and things)......anyway, this shot spoke load about what i had just been doing...even though it was all paint marks and abstract lines and things, but it related completley to the real stuff i had been doing in the real world. woooh, real wolrd. It all relates to everything.

Windows. Perspectives. Layers(but not in a painterly, build them up....more in a real way...i need to find a new word for layers.....and thats what all this is about. New ways.

Cool

bye
