Nobody in Britain had tried this mode of structure on such a scale before. It enabled a light, see-through effect in which the distinction between the inside and the outside is blurred. britishlistedbuildings.co.uk
I've been invited to take part in a group show in my studio building this April and I'm hoping to produce some new works in time – 2-colour screen- or Riso- prints that will form part of my ongoing 1964 Series and possibly a new video piece as well. I returned to the zoo this week on a day of beautiful sunshine and shot two reels of Super 8 film in the aviary. It was tough going, a heavy camera and tripod to carry as well as my 29 week bump, but it was exciting. I hope I've managed to capture something of the changing light on the aluminium, the fluidity of the birds' movements against the rigid geometry of the frame... The reels are currently on their way to Berlin to be processed.
I've also been working on some more collage tests:
