I have been pondering over this piece for a while now, there is something i dont feel connected to, it have acknowledged the fact that it seems quite nautical and monumental- but there is something else that i couldnt put my finger on.

I have realised that the orange blanket has lived a life (previously a friend’s - it may have been slept on, used to keep someone warm, ripped by accident), the white linear structure in the middle was previously a projector screen packaging (kate used the inside of it for a sculpture) therefore obtains a history to it aswell , the cube was perfectly made by someone other than myself to specific dimensions therefore I need to replace this with something else- its too perfect. imperfections are what fuels spontaneity, 3dimensional collages.
