Space and Dimensions
A few new things. The black pieces were finished a few months back, they were in the ArtTrail 2011 Embassy at the Elysian. When I moved into the studio in April they were the first things I did. I had the idea for a while so I bought and lugged in the wood, cut it up, painted it black and realised that I had not entirely figured out what I actually wanted to do. I tried painting on them, that wasn't it so I painted it black again. I tried gluing things to it, that really wasn't it. So for months they sat in my studio. This is the result of another attempt to figure out what I wanted to do.
I am ever interested in the perceptions in art and in general. Where these on a wall they would be paintings but propped up, they become sculptures. Their alignment is like when paintings are stored stacked up against a wall. It changes their dimension and how they occupy space. I made this video to project alongside.
Sound
I have been experimenting lately with the medium of sound. These recordings are intended to hear the sounds behind music. It includes unintended audible and inaudible sound from devices used to listen to music including traditional recorder players, tape decks and modern smartphones.
I made this yesterday, amongst other things, in what was an incredibly busy day. At short notice, I had three meetings and attended the launch Cork City's Arts Office strategic plan at Triskle Christchurch. If only I were as productive every day.
Drawings
Recent drawings. I think drawing is very important and is a stand alone art practice. In fact, I recall I did my thesis on drawing. I like that drawing reveals the progression of an idea. It shows the bigger picture.
Anyway, here is a little number that seem to reflect my current fascination from icebergs and such.
...don't they know it's the end of the world...
Video stills from video piece I Present to You. This was shot with a DSLR camera. Which is why there is a narrow dept of field in the first still. This effect was obtained from in camera settings with no colour, saturation or exposure adjustments in post production editing. HD video is relatively new from DSLR cameras and some low budget film makers are quite excited about it. Or so I hear.
I used a Nikon D90, which was the first DSLR with HD video capabilities, as Take That would say, things can only get better. Unless, of course, things get worse.
