I was watching some of the video I filmed at Wysing over the weekend and I seemed to have got so much more than I thought. Some of the images will go on the website if I remember rightly, but I wanted to post some here too.....there were things that I did whilst I was at Wysing that I never really talked about, (Ok, so i guess I didn't do vast amounts of talking, but then I never really do), but I wanted to share some things here...maybe you can all see links that I can't!?
When we all went for a walk on the Sunday to just have a look round there were all these black slugs in the grass. I think sometimes wehn I see things/places/spaces I immediately know I want to use them somehow. The black slugs...they were so black, like wet black...on the Monday morning I was sat in the barn on teh green cushion by the door reading this Vanessa Beecroft book I have had for ages, but never read and I had ideas in my head of things I might do during the week...the slugs were one thing...just standing in the rain was another...and then it seemed so ridiculous that I was saving these things up for another day when I could just get on with them.... So I went and sat on one of the benches in the far corner at teh front and had this slug on my arm- my skin is so white, I don't realise it at times, but in this video my arms aren't instantly recognisable as arms, and I like that- they're obviously boldily I think, but maybe not arms.....and it is probably not something I will ever show, but just doing it, having this thing on my arm, sitting in the rain, hair all over teh place, wet feet and just breathing it all in. GIVING MYSELF TIME without rushing onto the next thing.
Also hanging from the tree. When Steven and I went off on MOnday afternoon to talk about our work about collaboration, I must admit I was really uneasy about it. I believe in collaboration, and for some people it works, but for me..... I don't know. I can't help but feel Skeptical(?) about it..... it doesn't feel like my work, it feels compromised.....I don't know how to explain it exactly, and I do not want to just sound rude at all- Steven this is in no way a reflection of teh afternooon- I had fun just doing stuff, just having someone to do it with and play, and fill the afternoon without intentionally trying to fill time.
I think this is getting really long...maybe I'll post some different images another night....
I hope everyone is well....what's everyone up to?
With love to you all, take care, Katherine.

dear katherine , love the images , also is good to see things in the writting that do make sense and also give us a insigth in to how you thinking . i also think that this is why i believe in this blog because every body on it use in very diferent ways , and theyre all good as far im concernd. x x x
Collaboration is many things to many people. I enjoy it as it lets me off the hook of being soley responsible for making work, also I like it because to me it has a lot to do with play, it feels like playing, uncluttered and not not preconceived. I see myself as a maker of art, a thing that can be shapped and presented, not the ever an originator. I like the interaction and the spontaneity.
Katherine, your comments have made me think....

gorgeous images. The slug is very poignant o me. I love the stark contrast of the slug and your skin. it's such a simple image , very bold, yet delicate,
It also link up really well to your video piece in the shed in the rain, great connection as slugs are so linked with coming out in the rain. It follows really well and could form a great linear link.
Last year I filmed slugs on a milk bottle. I try and dig out a still to show you. Im was really fascinatd with sucha slow creature tryin to chase it's way to the top of the bottle and again the black and white contrast.
I was trying to create a project to give some sort of justice to weeds. It's something I'd love to return to . What classifises a weed. Does there have to be too much of one thing?? Like being overpopulated with squirrels and them being labelled vermin?
I have these prints of species of weeds. They were tossed out as rubbish, but I really want to frame them and give them pride of placfe on my wall. I even thought about gilted frames, but perhaps that would be over the top,
