BIG DAY TODAY!

AFTER GETTING OVER MY RAGE OVER BEING TOLD THAT MY TWO DAYS OF WORK PAINTING THE ENTIRE STUDIO ON EVERYONE ELSE'S BEHALF VERY THOROUGHLY AND STARTING WORK ON THE FLOORS, WAS COMPLETELY VOID BECAUSE OUR FIRST YEARS SHOWS BASICALLY DON'T MATTER AND THEY NEEDED THE PAINT FOR THE DEGREE SHOW... MY SHOW HAS TURNED OUT BETTER THAN IT WOULD HAVE BEFORE.

MY AREA OF THE FLOOR WAS LEFT UNPAINTED SO IN A RARE EPISODE OF SPONTANEITY, I STARTED PASTED NEWSPAPER AND POSTERS ONTO THE FLOOR AND WALLS IN MY SPACE. I ALMOST WANTED A MEMBER OF STAFF TO TRY AND STOP ME SO I COULD VENT TO THEM.

ANYWAY, THIS OPENED UP A WHOLE NEW AVENUE OF MY WORK, AND MADE ME WONDER WHY I HAVE NEVER WORKED ON A LARGE SCALE BEFORE, PHYSICALLY LAYERING IMAGES OVER EACH OTHER ASWELL AS CUTTING THEM INTO COMPOSITIONS. THE WATER AND GLUE TURNED THE NEWSPAPER SEE-THROUGH, SO THE IMAGE ON THE OTHER SIDE, AND BEHIND IT SHOWED THROUGH, GIVING A LAYERED EFFECT. 

I USED THE SAME TECHNIQUES AS BEFORE, USING HORIZONTAL LINES, AND REARRANGING AREA OF TEXT SO THE FONTS ARE STILL THERE BUT THEY DON'T SAY ANYTHING.

I HAVE THIS AREA OF BUSY, UNCONTROLLED WORK ALONGSIDE MY OTHER WORKS ON TRACING PAPER, WHICH ARE TIDY AND CONTROLLED IN CONTRAST.

I LIKE THE OVERALL UNTIDY FEEL OF THE WORK, WITH THE WORK ON PEGS AS WELL.

I ALSO DECIDED NOT TO USE THE LIGHTS. THE PUSH LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE THE WHOLE WORK, AND THE WORK CAN'T BE HELD FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THE LIGHTS -  WHICH WAS THE ONLY REASON I WANTED THE LIGHTS IN THE FIRST PLACE. ALSO, THE ROOM WILL BE TOO BRIGHT, AND I THINK THEY LOOK GOOD BY THEMSELVES.

BASICALLY, IT HAS TAKEN A SHIT COUPLE OF DAYS TO MAKE MY SHOW THE BEST IT COULD BE.
