Each artist taking part in ShopFoodBox has been given ten olive oil boxes to make into a work of art.
As ever I have left it to the last minute dure to organising the show and fiddling about with all that.And, as ever I am a painter with a sculptural problem. My brain just doesn't do 3D that well.
I have decided to go for a bit of a Judd. We saw the show at the Tate a few weeks ago and I was very taken with the large 30 plywood and perspex piece which went down the whole wall of one gallery. I like the idea of them and variation and the idea of making all the variations you can do.
Except this is cardboard, I am not getting it fabricated by someone who can cut straight and I have got a weekend to do it. On Saturday night it is looking like this and I am thinking that I might put paint onto the back walls off the boxes to make the inserts stand out more and to give them more interest. I also consider the idea of painting a red along the edges but decide I rather like the edges of the corrugated card.
