I am planning to machine embroidery the news headlines I’ve been collecting since March. There are beginning tests. Initial decisions are around:
I enter the space and then what…
I need a moment to settle in…I am here. What do I want to do?
I made a large notebook which has become my portal into saying hello to the studio. I am here today, at this time, and I feel like this…I saw….I heard….I felt…
It’s a way to get grounded in very ungrounded times. It will undoubtly become a record of this time, this very strange time.
I’m showing up to the studio but feeling lost. Don’t seem to be able to easily settle in and focus on anything, so…I am revisiting recent work and wondering if I’ll continue exploring the deconstruction of the stitch.
I thought I would explore the use of video…to perhaps formulate an idea of what it would be like/could be like to use an online workshop format: Food + zoom + me + others.
But before “this time” I had been thinking of exploring the physical/face-to-face workshop format as an art format. But how would it differ from a regular workshop? What makes it art?
Books mentioned:
The Futurist Cookbook by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
Digesting Recipes: The Art of Culinary Notation by Susannah Worth.
