My studio is an archive of letters and in moving things around I rediscovered a collection of cardboard letters. Made up of layers of cardboard stuck together with double-sided paint and painted in black acrylic paint, these letters had initially been created for a project involving magnets that I must have gotten distracted from.
They spell out 'right time, right place' (a key phrase from my research) and were intended to be installed as a wall installation.
I took them outside and had a play with them. There are enough letters for them to be piled and stacked, and to lean up against each other.
While not the original intention I enjoyed this process. I was trying to get them all to stand up and for the letters to be readable for them to approximately be in the right order. However, readability wasn't too important.
I grouped the letters into their four words and left it at that. I had to work out how each stood, or how they needed to be supported.
This has got me thinking about sculpture a bit more, and also shadow.
