ref. REF Ref

wanted to share some images i've been looking at over the past couple of days while i think back on what i have been doing over the year, and more so over the last month or so

the oldenberg work is in relation to the earlier soft sculpture work - i dont think i had seen the saw before, although im now comparing that image to how i have the fabric saw appearing on my website, even using very similar colouring

there's a lot of ideas around space, both gallery and domestic present in all of these - matta-clark's anti-architecture is making me think about how i'm trying to skew what you seen in the home - i guess it makes me think as well what else i could do with the model i have made of my flat - how the whole space can be manipulated as well as just a obscuring or anonymisation of household objects

well i say obscuring - but not everything is related to some kind of real object 
if anything most things are entirely removed - they're just coming from manipulations of basic polygons
its more a matter of projection by the viewer that's assigning any value or meaning to them
i think at this point to me they are becoming this strange collection of vertices, and being viewed in a means that are entirely removed from how someone will see them

and with that being said i need to get more images of the way i am seeing them and manipulating them
