Max Ernst "Snow Flowers" 1929 oil on canvas
130 x 130cm. Belgium, Private Collection

Back in the shed today and V. is visible again. I spoke to Alice Channer about incorporating a suggestion of her folds and pleats in the painting, and she was intrigued and in favour. Alice has just graduated from the Royal College of Art with an MA in sculpture, and her work is amazing -- very conceptual and great to look at as well. I'm thinking of putting V. in between two diagonal folds, pictorially speaking, to imply transition. Between stages.
Again Max Ernst rears his sometimes quite unattractive head, and I'm thinking of his painting 'Snow Flowers' which incorporates two diagonal folds.
