Ever since I was little and loved to
arrange my felt tips in
colour order - I have got
great joy out of the
careful placement of objects. I used to eat my
coloured sweeties so that I had the same number of each
colour and could lay them out in
lines to nibble up in order - or sometimes I'd eat all of one
colour so as to revel in the changed
colour relationships of those left.
It seems to me this is as much about
colour combinations as it is about
placement and
order of objects!
Unfortunately it has to be admitted here that our home and personal space fails to indicate this interest in any way..
Maybe it has just manifested itself in the way I
make marks - lots of my doodles and little prints sit within a
grid-like format:
Likewise I am attracted to things in groups and repetition.
My photographs {from when we took the students camping a few years ago} embrace the strange placement and layout of the campsite - I love it's 'stuck in time'-ness - bit like how I feel:
The dear old
deux cheveux can be glimpsed here...
pretending to be a d
ome tent
Then there's my love of
making patterns - some of which I have put up on my surface pattern page... and laying out images in
grids - from
little pets to my
family heritage:
