Rebuild

Downdraft, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) Got both sides of the mould glued together as you see below and tidied up the corner joints but as I was setting up to glue the first outer brace the mould tipped over and broke apart. Grrr. Rebuild! Clearly it's delicate so going to put it ...

Mould Building

Confluence, 2016 — Convergent :: (click to see more) I've begun to build the resin pouring mould - so far it's working. Loving the plastic cup spacers held together and taped to my work light to keep them positioned. This whole thing is using my typical hacked together builder will approach. With any luck it'll ...

Water

Difluence, 2016– Convergent :: (click to see more) When I look back on it, I've often delighted in water. I wrote about damming rain and melt water as a kid but there's more. There's an element of fear and caution mixed with the playful. It took me a long while to fully recognize the true ...

Interpret

Gale Force Wind, 2016 – Convergent :: (click to see more) Last night I went to hear an artist friend give a talk. Later, I had a dream where I was speaking with him at his studio. As I wandered around I picked up an unfinished piece and I'm embarrassed to say I damaged it, ...

Flow

Jet Stream, 2016 – Convergent :: (click to see more) As a kid we lived on a street that sloped downhill. I remember spending time playing in the river of rainwater rushing down the gutter of our street. The flow mesmerized me. I'd spend ages finding ways to dam it up - leaves, twigs, sand, whatever had ...

Mind Game

Anticyclone, 2016 – Convergent :: (click to see more) We take this entirely for granted but if you think about it, the simple fact that we stand and move about erect perpendicular to the ground and gravity is mind boggling. Forget that you're standing on the surface of the earth for a moment and imagine you're instead ...

Motion

Cumulonimbus, 2016 – Convergent :: (click to see more) When I was young - four, perhaps younger, I used to have this absolutely horrifying dream when I was feverish. The dream would start out innocuously enough, I would just be - without shape or essence, like a mind in a white space devoid of form or surface. ...

Abstract Expressionism

Polar Vortex, 2016 – Convergent :: (click to see more) Up until now I had no idea where my work about the city belonged. I've written about my interest in quantum physics and the role of the observer in defining reality. I've stated the work I make is emotionally derived - capturing the sensation and essence ...

What Next?

Stationary Front, 2016 – Convergent :: (click to see more) I've spent a lot of time contemplating how things are going to unfold in the near future - both in general and personally. First of all, because I'm self-employed it means I'm on my own for future finances but also I'm having a hard time imagining ...

Creative Thoughts

Tilted Updraft, 2015 – Convergent :: (click to see more) Some time ago I had a project idea that involved surround video - the ability to simultaneously record video from all directions at once. I began gathering ideas and notes about equipment and processes to achieve this. Well much has changed since then and many surround ...
