I’ve been a bit
neglectful of the blog of late, summer even when its raining is eventful enough
- millions of degree shows, tennis the odd barbeque… oh! And I did a kids workshop
with a couple of really talented guys. They’re an animation and sound duo
called Sculpture - these guys collage bits of audiotape, found sounds and
footage, bringing the zoetrope into the present by using a record deck and
video camera to simulate that 19th century technology. We had a
group of 15 kids ranging from 10 - 14 years old. They really ran with the idea
and created some brilliant stuff.
I like way these
aside experiences connect with what’s happening in your own creative little
universe. I was drawn to Sculptures oscillating visuals; there was an affinity
with the animation I made this year. I wanted to make a phonotropic disk - fortunately
an opportunity fell into my lap where I could do it in a fun way. Not sure if
there is anything in it as yet, but I have made a little edition of my spot
film for numbe82. I’m not really an editions type of artist, but actually I
really like them and think there might be scope to make another lightbox type
assemble. On this occasion I made a set
of 15, but I have over 150 frames, which might make a lovely little collection.
They will be on sale during Deptford x at number82, so if you’re interested pop
over to Tanners Hill SE8 between 27 July -12 August and pick one up…
