Spent the day yesterday traipsing up to John Jones for a new 4 footer . Got back to the studio in Greenwich and met David Leapman, my old Goldsmiths College colleague who had hot footed it from visiting Daniel Sturgis, another of his colleagues, in Nunhead. We sat in the studio talking a lot about work, and he was very positive about what we were currently doing. Hanz arrived after a while and we all three went to 'do' the west end galleries. Couldn't get to all but will redress that on monday. Saw some very interesting work at Vigo, David has shown with a number of the artists participating in that event which was called the 'Grid' ironically. Saw some interesting work at Hawser and Wirth,and also Stephen Friedmann gallery with Iran do Spirito Santo, Jim Hodges being some of my favourites. Didn't quite make it to see Art first and others in Eastcastle St, so again I'll sort that on monday.
Decided I will now have to review my working methods in terms of materials,financialy the cost of things is becoming prohibitive, but there is no point using shoddy/ second rate material. I'm also thinking of the parallel or off shoot from my panting- installation , which I'm quite excited about. I'm considering a radical alternative- aircraft panelling, but again this is down to cost. Concluded yesterdays whistle-stop afternoon, in Green Park, talking, until we were all seperated by the burgeoning ,freezing, unseasonally cold winds...Don't worry reader, this is me flexing my new blog muscles, it won't in future be ' dear diary'..
