The small studio
was created to house object collections, arrangements and processes,
and to be a movable, spatially modest working space. It is a place to
hold the material thoughts of practice, and to put them in relationship
to changing external surroundings. The small studio marks out an area for practice when space is scarce, and complements the documentation of my larger studio in Pieces of Practice.
The small studio
was formed during a cross-art form mentor-ship at Articulate Project
Space in Leichhardt, and was made possible by a generously donated
packaging crate.
This
small studio is actually a smaller small studio than the original
started in Leichhardt – unfortunately that small studio was too large
for the Gaffa stairway. As the idea behind the studio was that it be
easily moved, the studio had to be re-sized. This encounter underlined
the relative nature of smallness, the ephemeral nature of my work in
general, and the limits that contribute towards defining a practice. So
this is the small studio II, and I suppose, now that there are a couple
of versions, it is possible there may be more.
