Medalta day 5
Almost supper time and I’m feeling a bit behind. Today was not terribly productive in terms of physical work that I wanted to get accomplished, but it has been an incredibly thought provoking day with many chats around the studio which are making my brain buzz. Dialogues on functionality, grad school, audience, expectations, reasoning and justification for making art. Far too complex to summarize in any cohesive manner, I guess you just had to be here…
Here’s hoping this evening is a bit more hands on productive for me. Another late night I guess (not that I’m complaining – it’s been glorious to work 14 hour days!) In the meantime here’s some pics of Robin and Paul working away.
