Little Wins #10

Artists Join Me – One of my project goals was to gather perspectives about AI generated art from a wide variety of people across the arts industries.  I have already begun to ask some of my colleagues who lecture in art and design and some of my students.  I was also absolutely delighted when a number of high profile artists agreed to give me quotes and share their thoughts on AI art.  More about this can be found on my ‘Balance of Power Book’ blogpost.

Low Residency Day #1

All Things Pink – We had lots of fun today! Alex Schady put on a fab pink themed workshop. If I’m totally honest I struggled to get my sculpture to ‘work’ exactly as I wanted it to, but it was still a great session!  I got a little sidetracked by some of the materials I was using.  I became quite absorbed by the layers of plastic that I could create.  However, the project brief required the sculpture to hold a smartphone.  Unfortunately my sculpture was a little flimsy and my phone very heavy, so it was a recipe for disaster.  Luckily my creation just about managed to make it to the end of the day.  Below is a picture of Alex Schady in the photographic studio wearing his sculpture.  I really liked Alex’s creation, which was a much better and more solid design for holding a smartphone.     Shots of My Creation Below are some shots of my strange pink layered sculpture.  Sadly it really struggled to hold my heavy iPhone.  However, I did manage to shoot some video.     Textures I was really intrigued by the textures created by the plastic layers of my creation.  So when […]

Zoom Session 19 (Low Residency)

Low Residency Part 1 – This week there wasn’t a formal zoom meeting due to preparations for both the Interim show and the Low Residency.  There won’t be a formal zoom session next week either as this will be right in the middle of the Low Residency.  For this reason I have decided to dedicate both zoom session slots to documenting both the Interim Show and the Low Residency.  Part 1 will cover the Interim show Private View and Low Residency activities covering Thursday 9th March until Sunday 12th March.  I will cover Part 2 next week from Monday 13th March until Thursday 16th of March.   The Interim Show (Thursday 9th March – 6.00pm-9.00pm) I was really excited to be travelling to the Low Residency in London. I’m not the most confident of travellers, so I was lucky to have my husband accompany me.  We left my car at Paignton boarded the train and headed off to our change at Newton Abbot railway station.     Once we arrived at Paddington, we bought some lunch  and then set off on the new Elizabeth Line heading East towards Abbey Wood.  Our actual stop was Farringdon.   We departed the train […]

Vilde Rolfsen – Inspired Work

Beautiful Destruction – For a few weeks now I have been wrestling with ideas for my research statement.  Ideally I would like to integrate some form of current affairs or pressing agenda into my work but I wasn’t quite sure how to approach this.  I then remembered a shoot I’d done a little while ago. I stumbled across an artist called Vilde Rolfsen. I found her plastic bag landscapes absolutely fascinating. Not only was her idea clever it was also visually very appealing. Her images are certainly creative.  There’s just something special about taking such a mundane object like a plastic bag and transforming it into an amazing landscape.  Below is a small gallery of her images.   Vilde Rolfeson – Plastic Bag Landscape   Responses to Vilde Rolfeson I felt that Vilde Rolfeson had produced something truly unique. However, inspired by her idea I wanted to use her imagery as a base to experiment further. I was also keen to incorporate elements of animation and time into my experimentation as this ties in heavily with my theme.  Most of Vilde Rolefson’s plastic bag imagery is light and bright, therefore I decided to take a slightly darker approach. I wanted […]

Blender – Who Knew?

Using Blender to Simulate Chladni Patterns – In order to make a successful Chladni Pattern, it is important to generate a strong tone.  Where fingers are placed on the plate is also crucial.  I have discovered that to produce a tone and beautiful pattern is not a quick or easy process.  It takes both practice and patience.  Jokingly, I feel that at the end of this process, I may not have great Chladni patterns, but I’ll probably manage a grade 8 in the violin! Joking aside, this is a real and fundamental problem that I need to solve in order to move forward.  In order to help me work with my bow and plate I looked for a number of YouTube tutorials of which there were a few.  The people in the videos made the bowing and Chladni pattern generation look so easy! I spoke to the maker of my kit and he explained that actually it’s not that easy and practice and patience makes perfect.  Below are a couple of videos where pattern generation is made to look really simple.   Chladni Plate with Violin Bow   Chladni Patterns – Aluminium Plate and Violin Bow   Time is Not […]
