I forced myself into the studio today. I thought I would be producing work within domestic spaces but it was proving to be a problem with my creative flow; meaning, I make a huge mess working on these constructions cutting and taping etc. so they take a lot of time and a lot of space, and therefore tend to be a burden within my own home space. I made the right decision by returning to the studio.
I thought I'd explore different constructions using decor and ornament (determined to use gilded mirrors which didn't exactly work out), and this is what I came up with. NOW I am beginning to question the idea of ornamentation and decor representing nature, I'm beginning to ask myself if there is any way of viewing these materials without a modernist perspective, meaning is there any way to truly comprehend ornament within the 21st century? I'm wondering this because I keep returning to the fractured space, a space with no space... I don't know, I just keep exploring more questions...before this I thought the fractured space in my images was about losing touch with nature, but now I'm beginning to think it's about something a bit different. Not sure, will hopefully keep working.
Enjoy.
