Studio day
After the hike up the hill yesterday, a bit of a rest day today staying in the Centro Negro. With the poor air quality and blowing my nose ever 10 minutes, today was a good day for staying indoors. It was spent writing up the journal, researching the history of the local area and thinking about new directions for developing work. I feel that I am leaving behind the single descriptor of ‘sculpture’ or ‘sculptor’ and more often describing myself as ‘multi-disciplinary’. I find this is a more comfortable ‘label’, as it avoids me having to always answer the question ‘what materials do you work with’ when telling someone that I work in sculpture. It’s no secret that I have a strong interest in multi-media, having presented video installations for both my undergraduate and postgraduate shows. I was put off for a while after finishing postgraduate study because I created a single channel edit of the 5 channel postgraduate final piece video installation and submitted this to about a dozen short film festivals around the world.
