White Noise on my website

I’ve put all my White Noise images on my website in Gallery Four. This is part of my Thrift and Alchemy project, which involves using recycled, upcycled, found objects and basically stuff that I’ve had for a while and have found a use for in this project. White Noise will be an artist’s book, well it practically is already, I just need to bind it and perhaps add a little text.

The other Thrift and Alchemy project is Gold, which will be a hanging. Both will be at the Festival of Quilts, and Gold will be at Worcester Cathedral too, in May.

I would love to do more work on this theme, especially as I have collected a lot of material, not least a large amount of broken ceramic pieces and a collection of natural objects, such as bark, seed pods, leaves etc, never mind all the paper, plastic and well, so much stuff!

I’ll be teaching a course at the RBSA Gallery here in Birmingham in February, and have agreed to teach another in Worcester in 2013. I’ll try to do more work to use some of the exciting materials I have, but at some point in the future may have to stop due to potential future storage issues. It is very satisfying to work in this way though, I’ve rather gone off just using fabric.

Here are four  images of the finished pieces.

Unquiet Night

Solstice

Fragment/Vein

Regenerate

As it’s a sunny day I’ve decided to indulge in a little photographic amble. On a recent suburban walk I spotted a small tree with little round bright yellow leaves still clinging on to it, and later some good silver birch bark which I intend to use as reference material in my Orientation pieces.
