I have been looking at hot stones used in a specific area of massage the heat radiates from the stones through the body and I have been drawing with inks and fine line pens.
I Have been continuing my use of glass as a printing medium and exploring the use of string in an ever increasing circle to convey the radiance of heat from the central point outwards.
I have also been thinking in more depth about the concept of beauty and purity and considering working with white on white. I have been experimenting with paper making and although I don't know if I will use this process in my final work it is a process that I think may be useful. I have been making paper with glass frit as an inclusion to incorporated the old industries of Alloa and string to represent the woven industrial history of the town.
At the same time I have been working with glass inks and drawing as a continuation of my previous work on brief 1 The Emperors New clothes. The treatments I have been exploring benefit the lymphatic system of the body and I have been drawing images inspired by these systems and microscopic images of the central nervous system.
From this point I have been starting to think about not only the physical but mental feelings of the client when receiving a massage or beauty treatment. Feeling of weightlessness drifting dissolving away.
I have been looking back at some of my previous work, in particular this sectioned drawing and thinking again about the movements of the facial massage. I am working on a sectioned face using only marks made that are similar to the lines of massage.
The final drawings this week are concentrating on peacefulness and purity of the single line. I have been thinking about peacefulness calm and imagining what a person feels and what they imagine or daydream about when they receiving a facial.
Practical work this week has involved preparing glass to be slumped over fibre paper. When fired I hope to weave these pieces with other strips of glass to make woven glass.
