Fifteen minutes isn't much of a commitment yet I am surprised by how often I have to remind myself that "it's time". One morning I mopped up coffee rings on the back table, then when they had dried, drew back into the page with ink and pencil. Another morning the sun and my morning cup of tea created interesting shadow play. The key is fifteen minutes. The key is to turn up every day, be present, and simply create something. Anything. Draw. Stitch. Scratch. Sew. Tear. Paste. Print. Anything. The best bit is, no one else has to see it and I get to record each day in the new home in quite a different way.
Priority #1: Create My CBD office sits on the edge of this mighty, murky waterway - the Brisbane River. Over the next six months I'll be working on an exhibition piece as part of the Broadstrokes artists group. Starting with the obvious, I'm making preliminary sketches to determine the substrate form. I need to consider how it will perform under the visual intent of the piece. That is, " substrate " can be used to convey those things which " underly " or " sit beneath " the primary image. Infused by a river. I need to consider the political, social, economic, ethical or moral connections. I'll also explore which materials are best suited for that purpose.
