What Next?

A bit of quiet time on the blog recently as things are starting to slow down a bit.  Still making a few more sea wreckage brooches like the ones I previously posted about, will be having them photographed properly next week!  I've also been able to make a dent in the large pile of books stacked up beside my bed that I've bought over the past few months, but haven't had time to read yet.  Should keep me pretty busy, I think...

These are all part of the new research,  I've started looking at people and their relationship with objects they collect, what they hope to tell people by displaying them and the decisions we make to hold onto one thing and throw away another - memories/stories/reminders.  Also still looking for new places to explore, reading 'Edgelands' is giving me ideas about places that are not nessecarily abandoned, just out of the way/overlooked in day to day life.  Still early days yet mind you, vague outlines will sort themselves out into some sort of order over the summer.

While that happens, take a look at this man Jorge Castanon
He rescues found objects from the hidden spaces he explores and uses them in his work, not as a response to what is there, but what is not...
