Firstly, you might like to know that my team IRONBBRATZ came out of the VERSUS project @ The Market Gallery victorious! Hooray! We also had so much fun and all learned so much about our own practices and the nature of collaborative practice. It was a fantastic experience. Please see our Versus blog if you'd like to see our photos and such. www.ironbbratzversus.wordpress.com
Secondly, and even more excitingly, IRONBRRATZ is about to get the keys for our brand spanking new artists studios in Glasgow City Centre this Thursday, the 15th July. We are currently run off our feets getting everything sorted before our artists move in but it'll be a huge success I'm sure and we will be having a launch night sometime in late July. More details on that to come.
As well as all this, my own practice is really coming on, I've had so many breakthroughs in painting since the Versus project. It's crazy! Here's a photo of one of my later paintings:
The text on the blue panel reads: 'If you think I want you, you're wrong.'
And the text beneath the image on the orage panels reads: 'You're so right, you're so right, you're so right...'
Also, been doing some reading in research for my dissertation - in particular Art & Laughter by Sheri Klein. A fantastic guide to the highlights in humourous art work and very accessible which is great.
On top of all of this, I've been moving out of my flat last month to go back and live with my parents (skint and need to focus on my final year at art school this year). It's been really sad to lose my independence and space but it's nice to have company again.
Well, I think that's all for now. Will update after we've received the keys!
