I've been preparing 2 canvases with 'walk' sections in behind a stretched canvas with the intention of working on them using methods I've stumbled upon in the previous few months. I've also decided to re-introduce 2 other previous working methods, both in the form of journals. The first is a collection of leftovers from the day's work with the date and a word to describe the contents, e.g. 'sweepings 8/11/16'. The second method is to use strips leftover from the 'walk' painting to write day-to-day phrases that I will use as before, cutting out the gaps, immersing them in paint and dropping them onto the 2 new canvases I've prepared, then writing the phrase over, cutting out gaps and integrating them into the painting.
I have been sewing together the drips and creating objects that I experimented with stuffing and which then reminded me of stalagmites and stalactites that places my thinking underground once more. However, when I was removing the stuffing to repair a section I had my arm inside the object and I realised I had created a strange kind of organic extension to my arm that I think might work in some kind of performative way.
