Painting Weeks 1 and 5

This week was called 'Round the Block' - apparently an artist whose name I have forgotten used to say if inspiration dried up he would take a walk round the block. As I had been outside for the So Far Project I decided to focus on the internal block - namely the studio C6. The mess in this studio has been a constant bug-bear so how better to face up to it than by using the detritus on the floor in order to make art? I wanted to capture the light and the atmosphere in the studio. These were always changing as the day wore on. The brief was fairly thorough and the first requirement was to make five drawings. I made these five by collecting paper etc off the floor and making collages.
