These glue moulds are like an untidy and unorganised version of the piece 'Ladle Moulds' I exhibited at the Surface/Space/Time exhibition back in 2009. This time, working on a flat surface. It's made with Drawing inks and a pva/water mix. I’m have been adding bit by bit for the past year. It takes a long long time to dry, so it’s been another ongoing thing, which is now done and I can now find another use for the massive shower door which has been looming over my studio space (as much as a glass door can loom)Here is some more about the Glue Mould / Glue Quilt process

Repetition

A new year de-clutter. I've been organising things on my computer better. Part of this involved wading through thousands of photographs, deleting and shifting around. Collating the images of things I've made into one big folder. It's been a bit of a mission, but also enjoyable to be reminded of things I've created/found and forgotten about, such as these:Collages, all together.These beautiful keys, which belong to the caretaker at Redland Girls School.Trying new methods of drying the 'glue moulds' this patch never, ever dried.Complete glue moulds, peeled off a strong plastic surface. So brightly coloured although I never used much ink.My father's difficult hand writing. A bad list! More of a statement.The first sewing drawing, during a residency at a secondary school.A little brainstorm which sums up everything. Colour and repetition.

Ladle Wall

I have about 40 ladles in my possession. anyone want some soup? I cleared both Tesco and Pearce's Hardware out. I'm speeding up the drying process today (hopefully) by letting the glue dry in the afternoon sun. The microwave drying failed - too bubbly and toxic. I'm off on holiday soon and have to set up a lot of ladles ready to meld together upon my arrival, before the 'Surface/Space/Time' exhibition at the Crypt in St Pancras. Come on glue!
