I've
been building up a pile of silly little drawings on the mantelpiece over the past few days. This evening I spread them out on the floor
to see what has happened so far. I've been doing quick pencil outlines
and colouring them in with texta to record thoughts, words or memories passing through my head. Today I became curious about trying to organise the
memories chronologically. I grouped them together by year; it felt like quite literally straightening out my thoughts. I'm enjoying this quick way of working
and I think I just need to keep going with this drawing process at the moment and see what happens. Being away I feel more free to play around with
materials that I wouldn't usually work with. I also feel that now I'm out of uni I can let things grow and be more naturally grow
and not worry too much about the end outcome.
A blog by Jennifer Rooke documenting her residency and travels in Tasmania, 2014. For two weeks she will live and work at Kings Bridge Cottage in Cataract Gorge, exploring and recording the surrounding environment to produce a body of work which records her personal experience of being alone in the landscape.
