Les Bicknell – Book Arts Camberwell
Thinking through making
How do you know?
What is it that you do?
Ways of working
The verb list by Richard Serra – could do this yourself. Either use his list or make your own.
More experimental – Make a list of the things that you don’t do – start working from this list
What makes us who we are – think about family and personal experience
Work spaces – messy outside, clean inside
Observe and collect as a methodology
What I took from Les’s session – there are many ways to start and develop ideas, choose which one/s work for me. If stuck be systematic about it – ie use Richard Serra’s verb list. He kept encouraging us to bring it back to our personal purpose/ focus, question why….
I was excited by his focus on interdisciplinary work and his continued enthusiasm. Obsession/ fascination, need this to make exciting work. Also be prolific.
