I'm always slightly jealous of fashion designers, their ability to create something and dress the human body is something that just doesn't come naturally to me. The best tribute I could muster for Mr Louboutin is this sketch...
I then went to Victoria Miro to see Grayson Perry's latest works 'The Vanity of Small Differences'. He has created 6 tapestries, 2 for each of Britain's social classes, as a result of his investigating and research, shown in his 3 part TV series on Channel 4 'All In The Best Possible Taste'. In each show he visits a different part of Britain, different people from lower, middle, and upper class societies. He gets to the cores of each classes' values, interacting with and questioning people, without seeming to mock or insult anyone!
The final works are filled to the brim with colour and references, making them modern day records of life in Britain that will one day become historical references themselves.
As a result of all this information I gathered today, I came home, took out my pens and went through my resource imagery, making drawings and trying not to think about very much.
So that's the latest development in my art-making, I feel like I'm on the cusp of grasping something quite exciting, I just hope I reach that point of clarity soon because I'm getting quite frustrated!
