After the CU exhibition and Schism, and learning that I make work more efficiently when there is a goal in mind, I am really keen to start setting up some more shows, both in the studio and in places around town or even further. Tab, Chris, Ed and I had been planning on approaching Curious Hall to put on a group show, and then we discovered that wee could get some help from Newlyn Art Gallery. It is really exciting to think about the prospect of organising and curating our own show, inviting others to exhibit with us and having the freedom to really explore the potential of our work together.
As I have been looking at the library slips I have also thought about approaching the library to display work made from them in their display cabinets. This seems like an ideal way of exploring the relationship between contemporary object and relic - as the slips displayed in the case will be no more important than those that remain in the books on the other side of the glass. Maybe it will make people perceive these familiar bits of paper in a new way, especially as they are being removed from the books.
