Weekly consideration of the daily 'thought' words, brought to life in shape and colour as expression of these words and the word of the month.
I did not begin the weekly images until March of 2006 till then consideration of the daily word in notes put in a small pad plus postcard size doodles of day were the elements but during February I began to consider the shapes and colours I see when each daily word is presented to me and decided this was an expansion of this practice that needed to be approached practically. As it stands at the moment each Sunday I aim to put the shapes and colours together in a whole. This will mean a 52 page 'book' for the year , there are other strands to this I feel but am not clear as yet what but I certainly see the book being similar to the wallpaper sample books with a handle to carry it and bolts through the 'spine' to hold it all together. I loved those books when I was a child all that colour and texture I suppose.
Like my childhood wallpaper books by unscrewing the the hinge/spine, pages will be able to travel from book to wall though unlike the selotape or blutac that was used to attach the patterns to my walls these pages will get at the least black mounts and could be framed glazed and hung as art.... but then I thought the pages of the wallpaper books were art and in truth one of my favourite places to go to this day is the V&A Museum in London and spend hours drooling over the samples of fabulous hand printed papers for walls which sometimes happened to be fabric too.
