This Week

So this week what has happened?
Well on Monday I did a creative writing one-day workshop with Helen Cross to try and improve my writing skills. It was very interesting, I got a lot from it, on how to reduce stuff down to a more interesting and sensual piece of writing, its not all about imagery you have to smell stuff too!
So did that and that is where the poem ive just posted up came from, im looking at hand written typography aswell. Moving away from pure collage illustrations and more illustrated/illustrative type, hand made type. Thinking about trying some mono-printing, chalks, perhaps letraset style stuff, and applying text to found objects, short poems on scraps of found paper and such. Using collage as a medium and inspiration for writing content from rather than creating the image itself.
I want to try and use the kind of simple techniques you would use as a child, papier-mache, chalks, wax crayons etc and translate them into my current poetry/creative/abstract work.
So thats where I'm at right now.
Plan for next week: Buy a different newspaper everyday and create a poem from the its images and then present it in someway, as a text sculpture or a print, or image, or apply text to found materials, jsut what ever takes me and see where it goes.
