next one

I'm felling a little sick and cant be bothered with a description. Will update in the near future.

Short and Sweet

I thought I would pop up a short example of what I did tonight. As I aparantly have a little bit insomnia at the moment Iam trying to be productive with those hours of the morning. So aside from plotting the next studio make-over I did a quick mix of a track I started a while ago sped up a fair bit.

Another One on youtube

Databent images by me.

I would like to talk about the way making these helps you connect to Art and Drawing.

To many distractions

This is either the worst diary or just unfocussed. What ever the case I will not stop just yet as I continue to make work and wrestle with a life of distraction. Recently I have done some experimenting with cross prossing colour film in black and white developer. I figured that I would probably never get around to developing them properly or use the out of date chems lying around my studio. So like many people I have that box of mystery negs that keeps growing. I grabbed a random role film and cracked it open and prepared for developing, not knowing what I was potentially destroying. It always makes me so nervous when I have my hands inside the dark bag fondling around with scissors and those anoying film holders. I sweat, nose itch and generally feel anxious. Another issue arised once the film was all loaded. I started mixing up all the chemicals and did a little research into temperatures. I grabbed out the thermometer and remembered that it is broken. Somehow the mercury inside had seperated making it imposible to get an accurate reading. I figured that wasn't a huge deal sinde it was already well over 40 degree celcius in the studio so I made guess that it probably about 7 degrees out. I got a bucket of icewater and set temperature as good as I could. Anyway the end result is that it worked! And the role of film was from a trip made to the Daintree about 2 years prior, with images of jungles, palms, beaches etc. I am not sure how this relates to my greater Art practice and I dont really care to much. The excitement of making and discovering makes it seem as valid as anything I have done.
