I’ve had an idea

I keep photographing the light that falls on our bedroom curtains in the mornings. The sun leaves the shadow of the window frame but adds the pattern of the branches and leaves outside. So the outdoors is being pushed inside. It’s a nice but very bright awakening.

Then I was struck by the blinds in one of our meeting rooms at work. Our offices are open plan but we have a few separate rooms. When the blinds aren’t fully closed, there’s another view beyond them.

I think I’m going to see where this takes me. I’m away for a few days now at a conference, so there’ll be lots of potential in the hotel and conference venue. I am also being drawn towards the idea of how we divide up and mark out our space. It may be some unconscious inspiration from Philip Toledano and his bankrupt offices.

And Tim Davis’s tape and carpet stains and fluorescent light.
