After taking down my exhibition on Monday, I had to catch up with a couple of hours' work. So I am late to the studio. I will stay later today to make up for lost time.
Painting begins after lunch...
I've been werking at the "rock face", gradually building up the pink neon glow again. I don't do pink much, so it's a case of trying to remember the best mixes of paint, and in the right order. I set it aside to dry.
The current top secret painting is still wet. So I begin work on a new canvas. A merry hour is spent ripping up bits of cardboard and gluing them to the surface. I plan to build up a new rock face in relief, with neon glowing out from a pitch dark crevice.
Sometime earlier this year I began a large square canvas watercoloured with Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation. Today this canvas made a re-appearance on the wall. Out came the masking fluid... and now it oozes down the surface coating the building in pale yellow goo.
I finish the day with a bit of a clear out. I find some old canvases my friend Sarah gave me, rip off the old canvas and now I have four small square stretchers to make use of. I also remove some of the other crap that lurks in the corners of the loft, so that I might have some extra space to store things and to swing the proverbial cat.
