Old things found... taking the figure from the scene.

2011-02-13T12:20:00.000-08:00

I intend to make some more like this in the future. It doesn't show in these pictures but the the thread stands out nicely as a contrasting texture...

Christmas crafts...

A delayed update on the things I got up to over christmas...

Collage...

Horizontal/vertical, round/square, random play...

Photographs...

2010-10-19T01:19:00.000-07:00

I'm finding more and more lately that I'm moving into photography. I guess it's because I don't have the space to make mess, but there's also so much more detail I want to capture.

That's where you'll find me...

Trees...

I've added tape to the inside of my Mini Diana Camera. I expected the tape to distort the image more than it has, but the effects are still great. All are taken in Farnham park.

More to follow...

Reshoot of Divina Comedia...

2010-04-06T01:53:00.000-07:00

So here's the new photos, taken in my loft, of the lamp I made for Remember I'm Going to Mark You, a show last summer. The brief was to Make an eschatological object, or use eschatological words.
Something I'd always wanted to experiment with was the structure of Dante's Divine Comedy. So here it is... my 3-D model.

Half sleepy ideas...

2010-03-20T01:37:00.000-07:00

The other day I came across a treasure trove of old postcards in Oxfam and proceeded to sort through them all for all the landscape images. In a separate charity shop I found a bunch of maps. How exciting!

But what to do with them? ...

This one's my favourite!

And then this morning as I woke up I had the best of ideas to wake up with... more to follow.

Market Estate Project

2010-03-14T18:29:00.000-07:00

Last weekend I was a steward at The Market Estate Project. 75 artists, 66 site-specific projects, 20 vacant flats, and one soon to be demolished 1960’s housing estate.
Shame I missed out on taking part but here are a few photos from the day.

A flat covered in plastic and inflated with air.

Cabbage factory.

Circles cut from the wallpaper in all the flats on the estate.

Headlines about the estate taken from past newspapers.

Instruments made from scrap metal and the like, accompanied by some speaker feedback, smoke and lasers... all in the middle of a car park. Good day.

New start...

2010-03-14T15:54:00.000-07:00

Turn tradition on it's head, mix it up a bit. Old ideas, new angles.
Two thirds.

Degree Show...

2009-06-28T14:33:00.000-07:00

So these are the pictures from the final hang for the Farnham show. Everything ran smoothly and the outcome was better than I expected :)

And this is me and the girls on the private view!

An organic vertical

2009-04-27T12:16:00.000-07:00

Decided to try and create something a bit softer, building up layers. Also working on a vertical format, with intention to add structures over the top. But maybe it's a map of the world. We'll see...

Sequence

2009-04-27T11:59:00.000-07:00

The planned centre piece for the degree show. After changing my mind back and forth on whether to crop it, I've settled on leaving it as is.
