wtf

birds

apples

apple and fragmented apple. acrylic on canvas.

this and that from the last month or so...

this is the new art and design academy at john moors university photographed in the snow.

...and this is the mask/ headpiece that i made recently as a device for listening to a sound piece that a friend and i worked on. it features in-built headphones. it is modelled on a doctors mask from 1656.
there is no vision from inside the mask just sound.

these are some objects that i have been working on. i became interested the ideas behind minimal art after reading a few books on the subject. Through the application of a uniform colour/pigment/paint I tried to simplify the found objects to their basic state. Taking away their natural patina and focusing attention to their form and general texture.

i had planned to upload some un-edited (or very basically edited) footage of motorway lines/road markings and other linear motorway sequences. but computers hate me. i had also planned to make a video using some of the footage but there were more technical difficulties. the idea was to use the motorway as a metaphor for life, with it having a begining and an end aswell as a whole load of other parallels.

these two photographs are related to the video and are about all that i can show at the moment.
