Patreon Experimental Print Club, edition #3 posted

After a surprisingly complex assembly process, the 3rd piece for my Patreon Experimental Print Club was editioned on the Winter Solstice and sent out to my Print Club members shortly after. Entitled R2 / helios helianthus, it’s the 3rd piece that I’ve made exclusively for my Print Club members.

Psyche / D, Jan 2017

Thought I’d post two variants of a new drawing I’ve been working on, entitled Psyche / D. I’ve been going for a kind of millefiori glass thing recently, perhaps the best way to think of it is as if Takashei Murakami had grown up in Murano, or if Lino Tagliapietra had spent the summer of ’67 in San Francisco. That’s the kind of the energy I’m trying to channel here…

Moving Image Art : 3

MIA: 3 is the third instalment of an annual exhibition initiated by PhD students and staff of the University of the West of England, Bristol.

The exhibition features new video and digital work by students, staff and related artists making work funded by the University’s video art bursary scheme in partnership with Bristol Museum, Knowle West Media Centre, MShed, Arnolfini and Spike Island.

This is an ideal opportunity for audiences new to this area to see a range of video works and moving image art and understand why it excites the interest of a wide range of creative people.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre commission, NYC

Lovely to start the year off with some images of a fantastic commission for the oldest cancer care hospital in the world. Having been commissioned by the Octavia Gallery, New Orleans, we installed seven large prints throughout the hospital, traditionally framed behind glass. Delighted to have received these in situ images back from the gallery...

Laser cutting R2 at Bristol Design Forge

Laser cutting R2 at Bristol Design Forge

I spent a fascinating afternoon at Bristol Design Forge yesterday, making an initial test cut on a pair of metallic Lambda prints, working towards completing the 3rd edition for my Experimental Print Club.

In essence, the laser cutting technology allows for incredibly fine cutting of the photographic paper, which I've then reassembled onto a thin sheet of metallic gold card.

Phase | ONE digital video sketch

Just completed, a digital video sketch for a new 3D printed sculpture I'm making in association with Hobs Studio and The UNIT, London.​

The project involves developing an experimental 3d printed sculpture, to be exhibited at Hobs Studio in Clerkenwell in early December 2016.

There’ll be a short programme of talks and a discussion panel to launch the event, with some interesting, well known speakers.

Flow 8VO / 3 min edit

I've been working on the second edition for the print club, which I hope will make an interesting addition to the collection. After being asked to re-edit my Flow / 8VO screen work for the annual Autumn Open at the Royal West of England Academy, I realised I could use the resulting 3 minute edit as the next piece for the club. Edition 2. Which means the R2 / helios piece I'm also currently working on will become Edition 3, to be completed shortly…

Radial / TWO / helios helianthus / Second edition / Patreon Experimental Print Club

To complement the concept behind Bloom, I've started work on this new piece, reinterpreting my Radial / TWO geometry as a work on paper, that will see it recoloured, laser cut, and interlaced with a sheet of gold foil. These two components will then be applied to a backing sheet of handmade paper, debossed, and will hopefully form an intriguing new study, that will radiate a little late season sunshine this Autumn. That's the plan anyway.

An apartment in Bath, Summer 2016

An apartment in Bath, Summer 2016

Earlier in the Spring I was commissioned to make five new pieces for a beautifully refurbished apartment in Bath. It's been a great opportunity to create some really large works at up to 240cm / 8ft wide, designed specifically to illuminate this fabulous Georgian home.

These photos were taken on the install day, so the apartment is only partially furnished...

Bloom / editioned

Ros Ford and I completed the Bloom edition last week at BV Studios, and after 4 or 5 days drying time, the completed, editioned, etchings are packed and in the post to my Experimental Print Club members today.

It's been a fascinating process working with Ros on the etching. For clarity, Ros made the copper plate, and has done all the inking and printing, my input has been the original drawing, the film work, all the digital stuff, and the print finishing. I've chosen to leave one naturally deckled edge, and 3 cut sides, partly to show orientation, but primarily to make a real feature of the beautiful softened edge of the handmade Somerset paper. All the prints also have a full watermark in the bottom r/h corner.
