Trish Keenan died yesterday following complications caused by flu. It is really sad, she was a wonderful artists, my sympaths are with her family and friends. RIP. Here is the statement from Warp records.

This is an untimely tragic loss and we will miss Trish dearly - a unique voice, an extraordinary talent and a beautiful human being. Rest in Peace."

Here are the collages I have been working on, I said earlier that I would maybe scan them and I have done. Some of them I really like and some of them I don't like so much. I have been trying to think of them spatially and as working drawings for installations, rather then literal collage or anything figurative.













These are some really rubbish still life drawings from my sketchbook, I don't mind admitting they are rubbish as they took minutes to draw, but I would like to do more still lifes, maybe have a sketchbook full of them but a blank A4 sketchbook not a moleskin, and perhaps use paint and ink on them. At the bottom is also a bad drawing for a shelf idea.

So here are some reference images.
I have been thinking a lot about shelves, and I really want to develop some work with shelves, I would particularly love to use a supermarket shelving unit. However I do not feel this is appropriate for the collections project, I think I need to develop the shelves in the studio, I feel 15 is too much to have on one shelf, and I do not have the funds to buy numerous shelves or to get a shopping unit.
I have also been thinking about have visual fragments on a cork notice board. I like the idea, but I feel it could be a bit cliche, I am not sure why but there is something about the idea that I am unsure of. I also again think 15 is too high a number for this.
I have thought a lot about tables and I would love to have a long table with object, images and visual fragments that change over time, however again, not having access to workshops funds make this not a good idea for this project, however I do want to develop the idea.
Oh, and I have been thinking about the hanky code for the whole of this year, trying to work out a way to make work around it.
