I let the blog slip towards the end of my last project, but I’m back on it now and ready to get some work done after a pretty lazy Christmas/New Year period (I ate more than you, trust me). The final point I took that project too was quite a chaotic wall based installation that was a portrait of my Dad through photographs and documentation, both personal archive stuff as well as official state documentation (passports, ID’s etc). It focused on and highlighted his life between South Africa and Britain and how this has shaped his identity. I had intended to bring this blog up to date with that project by somehow making a digital version of the installation, I didn’t do that but hopefully ill find the time at some point because I was quite happy with the work in the end, although there’s definitely room for much more development. I suppose that’s going to be true for any 10 week project. Anyway, the big news is that I managed to get my first 2 trips out to SA booked, one in March/April with my brother from another mother Josh and one solo trip in June for the World Cup. Big plans for both, post about the first trip coming later today!
