Looking for a photo of this item which I made (in 2008?) Eventually, I attached it to the end of a long wooden stick and it hangs about my studio. I think of it as my flag of surrender. Ingeborg Bachmann, author of \u2018Malina\u2019, extraordinary novel. I used to think of it as probably untranslatable but an English translation came out just a few years ago. I gave this translation to a good friend of mine, N, as a birthday present but she has never mentioned it since.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whilst searching for this photo I came across some other relevant \u2018waymarkers\u2019 from the past.<\/p>\n

This poster which I made from the cover of Toril Moi\u2019s book about Simone de Beauvoir. It was a simple crop and I had it enlarged and printed in black and white as an AO sized poster. I put it up on the wall outside my studio, the corridor space, for one of our APEC Open Studio events. (Year? I need to get organised and date and archive all my work.)<\/p>\n

And this, an exploded image of tape made by ironing a transferable print out of the image of the ball of screwed up tape onto a screwed up sheet, then opening the sheet out and cutting the sections of the printout free. I\u2019d forgotten I\u2019d done this. Reminds me of Cornelia Parker’s ‘Cold dark matter’ in some respects.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>And this, object, traffic-flattened tin can, attached to the lining of an old curtain (from my Gateshead Granny\u2019s house) next to a cut out of a printed image of my hand holding the tin, photographed from the side to show its flatness. Three-dimensionality, into two-dimensionality back into three-dimensional materiality.<\/p>\n
