Have begun experimenting with the laser cutting machine and have cut various works, phrases and texts into the open pages of books. It reminds of stash books, or books in prison dramas which actually hold a chisel a hole to get out.
Although the books act as objects and as sculptures in their own right, the interplay between the text and images in the books is really interesting. Reminds me a little of John Stezaker or John Baldessari work.

This is the outcome of the week apart. Oddly enough we used the same materials, and our works were influenced by a specific other artist; one was an artist admired and one despised. There is an element of ying and yang and it was said that our personalities can be clearly seen within the work that was made. It was a strange week, liberating in someways but disjointed and lonely in others. Can't wait to get back to making new works together.
