Have decided on principle at least what my theme will be for the exhibition - 'regular patterns in irregular places'. Has come from the sketching and doodling I've done following our Ireland trip, and the wonderful patterns and shapes in and of the landscape...also ties in nicely with the geological thinking I was having after seeing the rock cores at The Collection....didn't get any pictures of the peat bogs in Ireland unfortunately, but the patterns provided there by excavations will contrast nicely with the wave forms I'd like to use from the Connemara beaches...
In terms of developing my work, I think as a principle it's flexible enough, and will give me a great starting point...I could even turn it on its head to work on languages, codes and scripts - irregular patterns in regular places - like far eastern scripts, really ornate characters in neat little rows :)
Can't wait to get cracking in my big silver pieces now...very exciting!
