Since my last post I have continued with the new paintings and constructions. The latter have been on my mind since last week, hovering at the back of it whilst working on my latest painting. I have been concerned about their simple, fragile, almost rough way that they are put together and worrying about it. However, I have realised that this results in them having a temporary existence, one that comes together almost without thought, the constituant parts been created and brought together relatively quickly and then once photographed, the actual three dimensional piece is redundant. I like this. Some of the parts are re-used and this ties in with my repetition of elements.
What I do need to do is think about how they can be used passed their current state; a piece photographed. The idea of their small size representing something much larger is good, but I am certain I can do more. As I am working so much within the home, except where I may go within the mind, I am also thinking about how I can move physically into another space, with the same ideas of course.

I am very happy with how the space becomes ambiguous, uncertain, not quite sure how they are put together as someone observed. I am considering their relation to certain modernist elements and ideas.
In terms of what they represent, I see a certain fragmentation within them as well as the ambiguity; a squeezing of space, an entrapment of time.
