#IIC BABE: Bristol Artists' Book Event

Image
The Bristol Artists' Book Event was a revelation to me, as I think I now  know how and where to share   Time After Time  when it is fully formed. The range of creative practice was incredible and I  really  enjoyed the way much of it could not be defined using conventional art terms such  as  panting,  printing, and sculpture, fluid and inclusive practices. I was very inspired by the range and quality of work, the associated artists' websites and the work we purchased. As I prepare to exhibit and perhaps sell my work, my challenge will be in the setting out and finishing of books using In Design, Illustrator etc. to create polished and professional-looking final products, so I have signed-up to Adobe classes in the autumn, a little late for the MA but part of the same developmental trajectory. Also, the UWE Book Arts newsletter is going to be a very useful reference for me to identify conferences and events, it's time to get my work out there. Fig...

#IIC AHRA Situated Ecologies Conference: Presenting Time after Time

  The content and aims of my Major Project, Time after Time  correspond with some of the AHA conference themes and offer an opportunity to test the potential of the artwork to engage and activity audiences, an aim which was set out in my Project Proposal. So I have decided to submit a proposal to run a session as outlined below. I think this would be a great opportunity to exhibit and contextualise my work and also to collaborate with CT colleagues/research student, so I hope it gets accepted: “This is a dark time, filled with suffering and uncertainty. Like living cells in a larger body, it is natural that we feel the trauma of our world. So don’t be afraid of the anguish you feel, or the anger or fear, because these responses arise from the depth of your caring and the truth of your interconnectedness with all beings” (Macy and Gahbler , 2006, p.105). How technology can be used to augment analogue artworks and further engage and activate audiences. Delegates are invited t...

#IIC Bewildered

Image
 Last week I finished a book which is still haunting me. Bewilderment , speaks to the times we are living in, the challenges faced by humanity and the anxiety felt by young people, particularly those who are are acutely aware of the current threats to the natural world (the central character, Robin, has a particular way of seeing the world, not unlike Greta Thunberg). The book is an artwork that shines a light on the struggles of the natural world and within the book, another meta-artwork is conjured, a banner created with a great sense of urgency, created to affect change and to offer hope for the future:       'the banner was longer than the two of us stretched end-to-end. And it was covered in paints,                 markers, and inks of all colours. Down the length of it ran the words: LET'S HEAL WHAT WE   HURT... creatures ringed the letters...Strands of staghorn coral were bleaching white. Birds and ma...
