After talking about what I am doing at the minute for this experimentation with light and shadows, the influence of art I saw in London last week, and thinking about what I have done and said in this blog in the past, I think I have come up with what I want to make to go into the end of term exhibition. When speaking about that shadow drawings, and more especially the way that I was framing and choosing particular parts of the shadows to fill the sheet of paper to make the most pleasing composition, I thought that it was very much like the pages of a book. So, I intend to make a book of shadows. Think there are various ways of going about the actual creation of the structure of the book, and also what materials, what size, how long etc. When considering this, I was reminded of what I said at the end of last term about ‘cutting out’ the space and ‘releasing it’ - perhaps I could use the same method of cutting (after all this would make for very clean cut obvious shapes and would show off the beautiful forms that the shadows make), but then strangely instead of releasing it I suppose I would be containing it, in the form of a book...however I suppose I am still releasing it from its original context. This idea also draws together the interesting relationship between making something so transitory into a permanent record.
