preparation
I’ve finished constructing five of the ten panels which will make up this project. For those who are interested in this sort of thing: they are 1220mm x 1800mm x 06mm beech ply with a pine support glued to the back. They will be primed next, by Rosie, my studio assistant for the project. Rosie will do four coats of a quick dry acrylic primer, sanded between coats. This gives a hard smooth surface. I will do the last coat and not sand it so the brush strokes remain and give an initial texture to the panel.
Meanwhile I am working on the images, exploring the use of text within the picture, and the use of layers to build up a palimpsest [see below].
