first post in ages....and now its all about plugs... well drawing on photographs anyway

movment in practice. (^-^) happy days

Off Shore Exhibition. The Ark..... next bit.

The ark came from just experimenting and playing around with found wood. I've had it lying around not doing anything for a while, only because i always had in mind a moving object when i made it. The plan is to make a plinth for it and to hide a motor inside. The motor will be attached to the ark through to top of the plinth to make it rock back and forth, so that it just looks like its doing it spontaneously.

Keeping the workings hidden give the piece a little more mystery. Hopefully the noise will be good to, a quiet grumble.

straw videos

mooooooooooooooooooooooooving!

Moving straw sculpture. I want to use "normal" objects, probably more child hood baced, and do some thing a little bit magic! and make them move.

t'has been a while... but i havnt stopped thinking!

I've been thinking a lot about kinetic art. This last while ive worked alot with figures, and i think I'm starting to move away from it. Ive been thinking more about bringing objects to life rather than look at things that already have life.

Ive always liked Theo Jansen's animals/ organisms/ creatures. His amazing thinking and working out does make my brain hurt though because i find the mathematics behind it totally boggling, but i love it all the more for it. This video is of Jansen giving a talk about his work...



I have also come across a really good magazine (make magazine), with videos online of how to do different things and some really mad projects. They also have videos and articles about artists. I found one that i really liked. He make "wave" sculptures, alot from found objects which i liked because the finished product looks so polished and neat, unlike alot of art made with found objects.
