hello. amanda bought UHU branded 'gel' glue, @ $6.50 which was $4.70 more expensive than previous glues that have been troublesome and too sticky and stick fingers hair table glue bottle needles to each other. This went all bubbly and i don't like it!!! ruined! expletives! not too worry i'll still wear it slash boo. see below what i have included amongst my objects if your eyes can strain that far into the pixel world. i included plain old hairballs because i have always liked the form they take, the way they remember that they are mine and therefore curly, defiant and impossibly knotted. I really want to use all of the hair i have, it's important but I don't know why yet :)
I like how they look in a very un-x-tina random way on the wall, they become more of an installation than something that's not. Fuck it I'm tired and not in the most loquacious of moods. The threads of hair are more part of the work this way because everything is on the wall. Paintings are put on walls. Art is put on walls. Craft is not put on walls. up is art. horizontal is other shit. up-phallic-you-know-the-story. don't argue with me.
Ok so it is necessary to view my objects through magnifying glasses otherwise you can see none of the detail. How to fix these to a wall is the problem. I decided having things on a desk would be too.. well the desk would be intrusive and detract from the subtlety of the work. One idea was fitting them to perspex rods and sticking these into the wall. Acrylic rods are expensive, $42.95 for a 10mm length of 2m, and they only come in 2m lengths so there's too much money on something i think is not worth it. They would be quite chunky too and interfere with the tiny delicate objects of wonder.IMHO <--- new wordy
This is imperfect and needs to be sanded again so i can get resin headaches and sanded-off ends of fingers that can't fing any more as a consequence. wet dry wet dry pretty smoothy paper of sand.
