Made in Roath festival 2012.
I’ll be publishing it soon, but Milkwood gallery have asked me to work with them as guest curator for awhile, and my first duty is to get a call for expressions of interest put out for an exhibition for the Made in Roath festival 2012, just to see what sort of work and ideas we get coming in, the official call will be out this weekend hopefully, if anyone whos interested could get thinking about possibly using the space that would be great.
Some photographs. First port of call is to work on a book of visual reference, take more photographs, collect more flyers, more drawings, that sort of thing. These were taken with a rather odd lens, in Ifan’s studio, I quite enjoy them, I even tried to draw while holding the lens up to my eye, although it didn’t work so well as I was drawing from video, the actual experience of trying to draw something in motion with a composite eye almost, was disorientating but still interesting!
