I spent many hours editing the video for the February challenge, however it just wasn’t working, so I took the decision to stop. I then thought about linking the audio track with a scrolling text panel. I went back and forth with wether this was the right decision and then decided that I would utilise the strength of the audio alongside the 2D rules I have created, acting as an installation, audio and paper signs. I am waiting for Vimeo to upload my audio and then I will put it on my website.
The image with this blog is a still from what would have been the film.
The paper prints look quite dry, but I think with the audio track playing alongside the prints it should create an atmosphere, when viewed in the right location.
For the April Challenge I have been less enthusiastic with it than other challenges, as I didn’t find any of them particularly challenging so I selected the most interesting. One challenge which I almost chose would have seen me make an image each day for a year, but I feel this is incredibly achievable, a sketch book with 365 pages and I’d be sorted. So I chose:
‘Make a whole load of challenges for other people to complete, and send you their responses as evidence.’
Challenged by Jodie Hawkes
The interesting thing about this challenge is that it was made as a Facebook comment and I dont think the challenger will be expecting me to select it. The era of Facebook is here and I think its time to utilise it, not just for marketing but also for production of art work.
I have several ideas for this challenge but I am working on a minimal budget, this is also affecting the March Challenge, so I will have to bear this in mind whilst producing and creating the work.
Have a think, and send me a May challenge, email:
