The Bowery Beckons Ever Closer
Tick Tock I return from travels and know I am a week closer to deadline day.
Yet on the up side I left in a state of dumfoundment as to what to do for the show in December. Having realized that all my work to date was too intricate to be seen in low light by alcohol embraced eyes. So for The Bowery it’s time to up my game and get some installations together. And it is time to go big. Can I come out with my best work yet in the next month? Time to work and see.
(BTW Prefuse 73 and Kelpe equal some brilliant electronica.)
Save Union Terrace Gardens
Green space can’t defend itself. Defend it or watch it get filled in, you choose.
The hardest drawing to photograph well yet, aside from the 4m x 8m cut out for Kilau a few years back.
from drawings to photographs
Clearly with a photograph it is really easy to make an image and a little harder to remember what your doing.
Drawings take forever normally but that’s enough time to remember or figure out why it’s getting drawn.
Photographs can be a little more ‘oh that would make a good picture, hmm nice light’.
The previous set of photographs focus on circles, as do the earlier set of drawings (see further down blog). Circles not simply cause it’s a nice shape but because of it’s ability to contain space. Particularly a finite space. Much like our earth. Ever increasing demand, never changing size.
The space for tree’s, nature and green across the globe becomes a threatened species. There’s yet another reason for not concreting over the green of Union Terrace Garden. The felling of non productive green space is a world wide phenomenon and we don’t even have starvation or poverty as an excuse.
In May 2010 I will be Artist in Residence on Mounthooly roundabout for the whole month. Come visit for a cup of tea and a tray bake.
