I think that I agreed to do the blog today! Its Jennie here.
It has been great to catch up on Nadja and Rachaels news via this blog. I do not have a great deal to report back on. The library at college has been open I have been into college; not bright and early but luxuriously in the early afternoon. I have made a start on some reading. I am so so slow with these wordy texts. I have been looking at Hans Belting's writings and in particular An Anthropology of Images. The first chapter is the one that I have been looking at. I was very interested to learn that he omitted a whole chapter because it was not translatable into English without loosing its meaning!
I have also been working on a small wall sculpture but I am going to keep it as a surprise for Nadja and Rachael. It is called secret!! We may not use it so plenty of surprises for our redthreadtrail.
I don't think that I have included a picture of the zine on the blog, so for the record here is one.
The below is the A2 poster when the zine is unfolded. It folds into eight parts and has text on the other side. Although it looks like a printed newspaper it is silk screened. It would have cost us a fortune to print it professionally and we would have had to do a large quantity. This is an edition of 20 !!
Tomorrow is my holiday outing. I am going to visit some friends who have just moved to a tinny cottage in a village called Burwash near the Kent/Sussex boarder. I have never been there so it will be an adventure. Rosie studied at UCA and did illustration in Maidstone. She is now expecting a little boy in a months time so I might have to take my painting and decorating cloths!! I envisage a beer in a country pub and I know a shepherds pie lunch because I am providing it!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Jennie
PS Something strange happened when I tried to edit this. Might need some help later.
