More book sculptures, seeing how it works without paintings and stages of growth in mushrooms.

NO WORKING TITLE
This project is to create a set of instructions that enables another artist to produce a piece of work. The project involves 10 students from 4 different universities who are then randomly paired together. The instructions can take any form and it is important to follow them carefully and accurately resulting in both of us making separate pieces of work.
These are the instructions I received and my response to them:
* Do not attempt to edit or censor what comes out during the creative process.
* Do not think of what anybody, apart from yourself, may think of the artwork.
* Take a chosen selection of sketchbook studies, small paintings, drawings, diagrams or found imagery you have already collected. Think of how they relate to one another.
* Collage them onto a blank piece of wood or material you deem suitable.
* Continue to develop the piece and your ideas with acrylic or oil paint or appropriate materials. Do not be afraid of ruining what you have already got.
* Do not be precious.
* Examine your thoughts and feelings throughout making the artwork take any words, symbols, drawings or diagrams which come to mind and include them in the work.
* Stop when you feel you have expressed what you wanted to express. Leave the painting for one or two days and come back to it.
* Reflect on what has happened and make any finishing touches.
Just some experiments with sculptures in books.
Sculptures are made using plasticine and wire that are then finished with oil paint.
