Monday 07th March 2011 SESSION DIARIES FROM JAMES JESSOP
Today begins the second week of the mentor sessions, but looking back, we’ve received some nice updates from the first session. UK mentor James Jessop and winning artist Oskar Rink had a great time in East London and we thought we’d share one of his reports from the studio:
Hi Art Stars,
Day two, Oskar arrived at the studio at 10.30am and applied a final coat of white primer on the star. Whilst it was drying Oskar cut the foam board into hundreds of thin strips. This was then pinned carefully together into a cell like structure and then pinned to the star with very small pins.
12.30 went for lunch and headed to the Fiesta cafe on Roman Road. Not as exciting as the first day adventure to shop for materials where we met ROA from Belgium in Chrome and Black shopping for white spray paint…10 minutes before we were admiring his giant mural by Atlantis whilst collecting some primer - but still fun. Real East End vibes.
On the way back Oskar picked up a few items from pound land to add to the star. The best item, a police helicopter that will be sprayed white. We recommenced work on the star at 1.30pm, from there we began a Marathon session working on the star non-stop until 10pm late in the evening, when food arrives.
During the session Oskar adds further to the structure with hundreds more thin strips. I cut polystyrene into four large blocks to sit on top of the star that Oskar will cover the next day with the buildings.
That’s the day two update.
Cheerz,
James
