new work

berlin is now starting to pay off. i've been really busy and am in a group show coming up soon, which is exciting.

here's a little sneak peak of some stuff i've been working on

listening to the city






the LTC blog is now public and i'm hoping to be as rigorous with posting to it as i have been in listening.

the lists themselves are going to end up as some beautiful prints.


garments for listening

following on from the crossover of headphones being a fashion-based, wearable space, i'm working on garments that accentuate the poses of listening.

this is new territory for me. i kinda failed textiles as a kid. i was a naughty 13 year old and mrs capel was an easy target. now i'm having to learn sewing stuff from scratch again.

here are some early car-crash marquettes. all cardboard, paper and starchy fabric while i get my head around them.

i've also been doing some fun silhouettes about those same poses of listening.

and here's some documentation from sunday's performance.




i'll post a little more about that particular work later in the week, promise.




and, in hilarious news, i've been beaten to the punch by the urban speaker.
it's a whole lot like public address, a work i had planned for electrofringe, but had to pull out because of unfortunate circumstances.

the annoying thing is that it's awesome. maybe even better than what i had. hmm. not sure what to do now. maybe we could have a public speaker-off - a battle of VOIP loudspeaker access.  heh.
