First Carving thoughts




Unfired stoneware carving- I quite like these results, but the initial carving felt kind of aimless- the image is attractive to me but is essentially meaningless. I'm interested in the breakdown of meaning, but that has to come from a meaningful place, rather than just making pictures for the sake of it. Maybe the image making could come as a response to the sound pieces, or actually using the soundwaves to make the image. Adding the poem in made it feel worthwhile, like something that could actually be found, and which would be impossible to decode, but you would want to.



Wrote the poem that Simon, Maddie and I "wrote" onto a block of plaster, going to see what is possible in carving it in a way that obscures the actual words.
