Something i found really unexpected is as i have started to develop on a piece of research I had (Richard Tuttle's - The Place in the Window) , I have also been setting up the Visible Mending Project at UCA, and currently also have my woven diary samples, at Jo Aylwin's Gallery in Farnham (where i originally found The Visible Mending Project), is Carol's inspiration for the project came from a broken shed window, which she repaired by using chicken wire and various materials to darn the gaps, stopping the wind from entering her studio. This was something i didn't know until i had read her artist statement, after setting up the project and starting my own chicken wire samples.
These movements, that have come together in the last month, were all very different pieces of research, done over different periods of time, some right at the beginning of this project, others as development as the project has gone on, and now they have all come together to create a juxtaposition of different ideas and concepts... it seemed like a really good time to reflect and prove that what was just a few ideas has become interwoven in place, context and concept... all things i think a diary holds.
