Constructed from one of the rocks found in Cornwall on the shore near Looe and magnolia branch trimmings, Magnolia is a new killick.
There are three photographs below, the first documents part of the killick making process, followed by a close up of the rock, with the magnolia tree just visible in the background and a final photograph taken under studio lighting, with shadows (see blog notes on Killick Project).
Thank you for looking…
found and photographed on the shore in Cornwall – now in the studio…
recent stone finds, destined for new work(s) or the continuation of a current project(?) together with snips of galvanised wire, coated in pvc – not a favourite material – I picked these up from the ground and could not seem to throw them away…
in my search for a section of chain link fencing for a project, I came across this wire mesh and stone which resonated for me – the idea of containing and protecting seems to be a feature of my current work…
The studio roof is now fixed and the culprits, 40 rusty screws, is a current work in progress (apparently 95% of the leaks in metal roofs are due to poorly fitted screws, which rust and let water through)
having temporarily decanted from a leaking studio, the opportunity arose to photograph the fifteen sculptures in the killick project, so here they are in the dry…
so, I wrote to the Cornwall Astronomy Society
and someone kindly replied: “My guess would be an internal reflection of the sun back onto your lens from the sensor…”
They also cleverly removed the blue dot and yet I have grown to like it…
while waiting for the leak to the studio roof to get repaired, I took a trip to the coast near Looe in Cornwall and photographed this seascape. I cannot account for the pale blue dot; the photo has not been edited in any way…
returning to work on the wood and stone (killick) project, after a leak in the studio roof… new work includes more sculpture and a poetry pamphlet – trying to decide whether to include images of the objects in the publication(?)
