Occasionally since the late 80s I have turned to making something in 3D, and recently presented a talk to SAQA 3D Special Interest Group to show those works. Since that talk and the Q&A dicussion generated, I’ve been thinking of doing more in 3D, and am currently stuffing suffolk puffs of various materials, including fibreglass, to assemble into an entry for the 3rd glass+textile exhibition next February (entry conditions at salonartevidriotextil@gmail.com<\/mark>)<\/p>\n\n\n

I did a quick update browse on Pinterest this morning – that algorithm does produce quite a bit of uninteresting stuff, but I’ve always likened it to browsing through exhibition catalogues as it occasionally throws up some interesting ideas in a wide range of media. For example, when I saw this one this morning, https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/454019206204303580\/ <\/a>, “Anointed Rank” <\/em>by Mary Giles, I stopped browsing, began thinking, and pinned it to my 3D board for several reasons… <\/strong>It reminded me of the earliest childhood stage of drawing people as blobs with a few attached straight lines which I learned about last year are known as tadpole people <\/a> Back then I mused I’d love to explore this idea, and posted this quick doodle to remind me – <\/p>\n\n\n

And this morning I began thinking that I should make some explorations of tadpole people in 3D.<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
