My tummy bug has pulled me back a bit this week but I started to feel better today. I did a bit of shopping - family stuff - but wore out fairly quickly and set myself back to the apartment and ended up drawing all afternoon. The work above was one of a few that I resolved - meaning one that did'nt end up in the bin. It's hard trying to work in a very clean 'uber' space.
I had filed away most of the work in a folder and reviewed what I had produced so far this afternoon. I feel it has been good to put them away for a while. Time will tell when they are reviewed again on my return.
I now have a good beginning of work to start with when I get back. None of these are resolved at all - just quick impressions about the place and what I have been exposed to. There are remnants of shows that I have seen and I know where the influences have come from. The real work will start once I am back in the studio again.
I was thinking about going to Hamburg but now I am wondering if I went there I would start on a whole new body of work with a different feel to that place and now I feel like I need to just soak this place called Berlin into me a bit more. The set back with being sick has'nt helped. There is still a need to return to a few places and work through a few issues that I have encountered since my arrival. It's more about sitting here and being with this place and lingering longer rather than going to a new place. There never is enough time but I want to make the most of what I have now.
This is my last Friday evening here in Berlin and it is starting to feel really strange knowing that it is coming to an end.
