KABOOOOM,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Friday was a productive day,, Huclite was delivered, got more balloons. and made another 4 fragile inked fragments... I am going into the studio Tuesday, hopeful it will be quite and i can get a few balloons done, whilst there are no other students knocking about. 

My point that life is fragile is making its point all too clear this week, No, I am not down. No, I am not high, nor am I psychotic. I believe I am stable. But I got some SHITTY news.

You see my Nan(grandmother) is my rock, she is the only one that helps me from my family, she brought me up when my mother was too ill to cope with me. She listen to my pains with life and save judgement till the waters are calm..She is can be cutting, yet is always fair.


She is 86years old going on 20. Thursday she informed me she has cancer. Its eye cancer, I know, who gets eye cancer? But from what doctor google has told me it is easily treatable... Although my nan has started giving her saving to her grand children. this hurts, she has little money and I can not understand why, well I can, but I do not want to think a long them lines, but it another hammer to an already fragile world that surrounds me...she a fighter though...

Ya Dancer, frigale fragments and great support

Another day, where my FMP has kind been at at stand still, i realise, i put more hours in and that i am a head of the game with my idea and plans, but this morning it was getting to much...

Howard and Karl pulled out all the stops and searched the country for Hurclite, even going and looking for funding to buy the plaster, I am indebted to them, both balloons n plaster should be in the studio Friday,, YA DANCER..

Yesterday Karl suggested I, look at using the broken plaster eggs shells, I experiment with drawing on them, and then using graphite and sketching in to the shell. almost like cave drawings, as I tried to keep it simple and with minimal lines



Later Caroline came up with a suggestion. using quid ink? on the plaster, which I did, then after I used bleach to mark the plaster, it look great, like old Greek ceramics. I then, drilled holes in to the fragile fragments and sewed them together, this alone made my day, it was not wasted and this idea has so much mileage, and look at how fragile it is....

Paster blaster

GGGGGGRRRRRRR normal plaster is to weak n brittle to staying in any reasonable shape of the eggs, i need huclite 2 plaster, but its again is proving difficult to source... watch this space...













other events, looking in to mounting a Mac computer in to a wall, then on the out side have an egg shaped booth, so people who watch my video are submerged in it... i love that idea, welcome into my head... my mind the movie...
