Experimenting with shape, using the imprints of the spaces from the postcards - really happy with this. I decided to use plain black paper as it offers a stark contrast to the white studio walls showing through which I liked so much in the postcard cut outs. Here it is the walls, the actual space of the studio which makes the work actually work. This relates very much to Donald Judd's essay 'Specific Objects', which we read and discussed as a group. In this he states that 'composition must react to the edges'. In this grid of shapes I have stuck up on the studio walls it is purely these 'edges' which inform the way we see the shapes - the composition and layout of the black paper interact and become one with the 'edges'. The repetition of the shapes is something that I quite like too.
