circle http://wp.me/s2Wfh6-circle
I’ve taken a slight deviation from my textiles route; while I am still interested in mark making, I am now focusing on embossing and casting. I embossed some lace on think paper which made for detailed, abstract textures. I found it very interesting how…
“…Somehow I had assumed that the past stood still, in perfected effigies of itself, and that at what we had once possessed remained our possession forever, and that at least the past, our past, our childhood, waited, always available, at the touch of a nerve, did not deteriorate like the untended house of an ageing mother, but stood in pristine perfection, as in our remembrance. I see that this isn’t so, that memory decays like the rest, is unstable in its essence, flits, occludes, is variable, sidesteps, bleeds away, eludes all recovery; worse, is not what it seemed once, alters unfairly, is not the intact garden we remember but, instead, speeds away from us backward terrifically until when we pause to touch that sun- remembered wall the stones are friable, crack and sift down, and we could cry at the fierceness of that velocity if our astonished eyes had time”
pinhole two
After my first set of pinhole camera photos, I was a bit more careful this time as I wanted a bit…
Diane Meyer.
This series is based on photographs taken at various points in my life and arranged by location. Sections of the images have been obscured through a layer of embroidered pixels sewn directly into the photograph. The embroidery deteriorates sections of the original photograph forming a new pixelated layer of the original scene. The project refers to the failures of photography in preserving experience and personal history as well as the means by which photographs become nostalgic objects that obscure objective understandings of the past.

Rena Rong - Wabi-Sabi Abstractions, 2013
Interestingly named ‘wabi-sabi’ - a japanese notion I’ve recently been researching - very interesting.
Absolutely beautiful images. Wabi-sabi is centred around the transient and imperfect.
Attention internet! In the name of charitable giving (and getting out the house), on the 27th of April my two housemates and I will endeavour to swim 5 kilometers in the national Marie Curie Swimathon! Pain will be endured, pool water inhaled, and according to the event rules, random people may or may not touch our feet. This is a mammoth undertaking by all accounts. Here’s where you come in. If you’re looking to perform a good deed and have a pound or two that you just cant work out what to do with, you can follow the link below to sponsor us (and therefore Marie Curie Cancer Care) in our colossal task. In exchange for you kindness you will receive a ‘warm fuzzy glow’ akin to hugging a new-born puppy or experiencing a mild bout of heartburn. Thank you in advance for doing the right thing xx

second skin
After much deliberation over my current project, I’ve decided to return back to mark making, which…
Experimenting with liquid latex and mould making around my hand and shells. I thought I would be more interested in the shape and structure, but I instantly became drawn to the marks of my skin that were left behind. I’m now looking into traces we leave behind, translating them into marks, and creating ‘second skins’…
