three new canvas I have just begun.
imagine embroidery over the top. more detail. another figure in the foreground. there will be a layering of constructed reality and the real (as constructed) with the boy blowing bubbles. I thought to use a spray can instead of the bubble blower, but that would describe more the act of painting where as detatching the context a little will hopefully illuminate/isolate the act of construction/implied direction/of the future/superficial/candy-esque. I will be impressed if you can see the reference to vanitas already. this is fun to paint so far
{small excerpt: i am just about to strech some yellow, something shiney and start painting rubbish cans, i wanted to say trash cans but was afraid it would be too superficial and americanised as I am an Oz, actually, no, this would work better. Yes I am going to paint a trash can, embroider it and acknowledge it in the most elaborate of ways} as at 11.21pm may 12
but what to put in the trash can...mmmm? or maybe what is the trash can made of...tbc
