day 9 self-study..

Today has been a day of self-study, where we work by ourselves on new work. I think it was yesterday that I mentioned I didn't know what my new work was going to be about, but today it became clear. It is all about systems, forms and a new way of looking at the world. The geometric shapes are based on the local landscape, Shinto architecture and the colours are exactly what I see on a daily basis here on Awaji island. The last picture is the black 'block' being carved. Each colour has its own block which will be printed separately. We are all looking forward to meeting the master printer tomorrow.
