Edited film of the Market experience

We have just finished editing a film using some footage that was shot during the

The Aftereffect: a derivative experience.

it can be found at: http://www.stella-theyellowsuitcase.com/upcoming-project.html

A derative experiment.

This event was part of the project with Stella. It was in response to Nomas who is collecting images of the traditional tangram. So I decided that I would collect some too for him. At the same time I would test out some of my own ideas.
It was important to me that this event was not advertised too much but that it depended on the demographics of the situation and place; Also the unexpected. It turned out to be a very busy day!

I have logged the installation. And there is a film to be edited ...

Tangram

I have now been looking at the Chinese Tangram and am now working on ideas using puzzles.  

This is in response to Nomas.

Boboko

I have been doing research about Sundanese Boboko rice containers as part of the collaboration with an Indonesian artist Nomas Kurnia. The Boboko is considered to be part of the macrocosm of Sundanese culture. It symbolises perfection of conduct and is constructed using three basic shapes, the cube, the sphere and the cone or the square the circle and the triangle.  It originally was used to serve steamed rice (rice being associated with the myth of the Goddess of Rice) but today other foods are served in it.

This has already resulted in two new pieces as part of my thinking process and research. I want to develop further a sequence of objects in response  to this beautiful container and the research that it has led me to.

Above six knives and six hands

This project is guided and initiated by an MA curatorial student at UCA. It is a brave and interesting project. We have been having a three way conversation on Facebook and this is very experimental for all of us. It is exciting.  

A4 anonymous

This is a fundraiser for the Fishslab gallery. A challenge for me to make two small paintings that I hoped might sell! Thankfully they have.

Fishslab Collective at the Horsbridge Galley

 Approximately 2meters x 2meterers

We each were given an allotted space. This is how I used mine. Private view 19th July.

Moving Space

Here is my new space and the beginnings of a piece that I am working on. Defiantly not finished. It sits behind a frame which has attachments and will evolve. I cannot put things on the wall in this space so am working on the floor. There are still uncertainties about the future of the building; my old space has been filled with wood and is now transformed into an enclosed unit for business type lettings.

Tomorrow I will do some printing onto the canvas. I am also working on a piece for an MA curatorial student graduating this year at UCA. This really is interesting; the work has stemmed from communication with an artist in Indonesia. A conversation that started with a suitcase which was an obvious link for me! The deadline for this project is mid August.
Next week I have to install my work in a collective exhibition at the Horsebridge gallery in Whitstable using work that I did at UCA. If I have enough space it will be a painting and two prints. Then the following week The Fishslab gallery has a fund raising exhibition 'A4 Anonymous'. I have done two small pieces for that. It has been creative to have more than one thing on the go and reassuring that I can work post graduation.
