i've been in the studio playing around. some connections are becoming visible between the different investigations. the lines are directly stuck on the walls with tape making them quite temporary. this is pretty interesting to me at the moment, especially in relation to the book (something that is created with the archive in mind). there is also something quite organic in the way the work grows across the wall. and it also worth thinking about the labour intensive, hand-made work and what value this has. sticking the numbers on the wall (in previous post) is very time consuming, as are the other lines (the red ones). what does this mean? if anything? many questions at the moment ...

i've also been, and am still, working on a wall drawing. I'm using the numbers i've recorded from texts since the beginning of the year. these texts/numbers represent an important form of communication for me at the moment. anyway, i typed them up and photocopied them, then cut them and stuck them on the wall. the result is an obvious, yet quite faint line across the wall, which on closer inspection can be identified as being small numbers. i still have lots to do on it ...

oops, haven't put any work up here for a little bit. i guess i have just been a little busy, and been thinking about the essay we have on at the mo too. I went to the British Museum and saw an Andy Goldsworthy drawing where he'd scratched away layers from the paper. so i thought i'd try something like that. when it was done i was more interested in the shavings left behind. it was quite a laborious process, i think the shavings represent that quite well.
