Currently working on a number of small-scale pieces for inclusion in a show at 42 New Briggate in The Leeds in mid-June. The concept I’m working with is that all the pieces must be created in, or take their materials from, an office environment. Images of works in progress when I get round to finding out how to embed images in the blog properly..

- “Office artworks” by Ellie and me. A3 poster, newsprint sheet, two sided, large image on one side (keyboard drawn on post its?), other side 9-12 b&w images of existing artworks made out of blu tac, post its, rubbers, paper clips etc
- Sol LeWitt Typeface; draw on several sheets of A4 graph paper & then cut out/glue together into a single long strip (or two shorter strips – see how it looks)
[I thought it may be better to combine these two, so one side is the photos and the other is a copy of the typeface]
- series of photocopies. Must decide how this is to be shown. A book is the obvious format but there is the resulting problem that a) people are less likely to pick it up and look at it and b) it is easier to steal and would be a one off
- I’m currently recording the hold music from my innumerable hours spent waiting on the phone at work. We’ll record very short snippets of this music into MP3 format and give them away on 3.5 inch floppy discs.
Leading on from that is –
- internet page which is a gif of static, as if it is an empty/off page
essentially on commentary on the fact that i use the internet loads but there’s nothing of real consequence on there..
