I’m testing print sizes and different types of cheaper copy paper because I would like to get the photos up onto some walls. It’s so exciting to see all the detail and to get my work off-screen. ‘Rubber Band Ball’ colours are so vibrant, I can feel the tension and see all the tiny tears, it looks like it’s about to explode off the paper / off the road. I love ‘Butterfly and Ant’ all huge, a giant butterfly, big eyes looking at the ant the size of my thumb. The Butterfly looks beautiful against the background, I spotted it on a glass panel that covers a basement flat’s window, its body is all crushed but the wings are still intact and all soft. Seeing ‘Someone’s Rubbish’ big takes me back to the sharp focus I have when I kneel down on the floor in the street and spend time photographing the object, zoning in, focusing on the rips, marks, scuffs, scratches, and the general state of the thing in front of me. I’m displaying some photographs out and about, info coming soon!
