Day 2

Deciding to focus on clouds, the atmosphere; the fragility of nature meeting the harmful forces of man and industry in the sky. Possible current topical issues could include global warming and climate change? Wanting to experiment with the degradation and delicate breakdown of substances from external sources - linking this to the destruction, or alledged rehabilitation, of the protective ozone layer. Want to start dialogues of diffusion: diffusion of colour, material, positioning, forms, particles, shapes, liquids etc.

As is probably evident, there is alot of random thinking at the moment, but I think it's best to get the thoughts out into the open. More has been written in my learning journal and notebook for ease of reference.

Hopefully will be spending most of tomorrow in the metal workshop. Want to do some copper wire soldering and experiment with various techniques and materials. Through these processes, hopefully more ideas should appear.

Follow thislink to my Flickr site to look at a selection of my photos that I've chosen to post up. Includes, skies, holiday pictures with these themes, work by David Smith I've seen in NY and a beautiful piece of sculpture in Argentina. (interested in its craft and construction)
