A weekend in Brighton with Angela Chick and Yannik Eilers. We had big ideas: making miniature underwater sets for Yannik to shoot using his new underwater camera. This didn’t happen, but we thought of these ideas to go with the underwater theme:
- putting milk in the water to make it cloudy
- underwater treasure coral
- an underwater butcher selling horses and man-meat
- an underwater office
- putting dye in the water
- putting our faces in the water
I did make the coral though. More of that soon. We made lots of other things, Yannik scanning in lots of images from old picture books and editing in Photoshop – they were mostly rude. Angela worked on more of her embroidery hoops, and made “a couple of really shit collages that I didn’t even like.” She also made us delicious food.
I collaged, and I collaged a lot. Here’s what I made:
Men statues: “they made people feel quite uncomfortable” Made on old photographic paper – words scraped on with a pin (ouch) and head collage.
ALL these things are about to take off. Arrow found in the weekend papers, strange words: ‘sno-cats, majestic peaks, penguins and seals, fur seals and colorful markets’ found in the index page of an old encyclopedia.
I found some men with interesting expressions. (best faces found in Money and Sport sections)
“Hi, are you coming out on the piss?”
