Over the last month or so I’ve been thinking about my next solo project. Prompted partly by seeing “Equus’ at Oldham Coliseum I started thinking about the Minotaur, as a visual starting point rather than a classical or mythological reference. My thinking has moved on a fair amount, but an interesting part of the process has been that I’ve recognised that the work has as its starting point a really specific visual image, rather than as a way of making a statement about something. It feels like the story / narrative / content is there for the viewer or audience to fill in, according to what they understand they are seeing.

A couple of times in the last few months I’ve used the idea of drawing around my body whilst trying to film the drawing. Somewhat awkward and jerky, but the last results seem to have informed this project in some way. I’m continuing to play with the film which hopefully will give me some kind of idea or suggestion of what HE looks like. More to follow…..
