nothing to do with landscape body or gender, simply christmas but it does remind me of the potential for physically cut stencils in screen printing. as i said on my last post, cut stencils could 'slide' with photo stencils as a way of exploring haptic and optic perception and experience of landscape and landscape imagery....

one of things that i concluded from my last image making using a mixture of digital and analogue processes was the potential to throw something onto the binary mix of a negative image translation. if black equals white and white equals black i wondered if the image colour translation could be disrupted somehow by another...

i have been thinking a lot about the merits of digital and analogue lens based media in relation to my work on landscape so i decided work through a sequence of image making which plays with aspects of both methods. the sequence:- digital capture of image using i-phone digital manipulation of image using photoshop digital...

thinking about how we view and experience the landscape, i have been reading another text related to lens based work and bodily encounters by Laura Marks called 'Touch, Sensuous Theory and Multisensory Media' (2002). one of the arguments that seems to keep coming up is the idea of 'haptic' experience, visuality or perception. The term 'haptic'... Continue Reading →
developing the work that i began last year which looks at my relationship to the landscape (landscape and body), i have been using predominantly lens based methods such as video and print. the main questions that i have been looking into recently through both my making and reading relate to landscape and lens-based processes. conscious...

as part of my research into my lens based work on landscape and body, i have begun researching phenomenological approaches to film and lens-based media. i often describe my work as being predominantly lens based and predominantly visual - it seems i have much to learn. so first up - The Tactile Eye (2009) by Jennifer...

testing and open calls: following on from a discussion i had about landscape and image last week, i spent yesterday evening working on a small print edition for two separate submissions - a print fair in Galway Arts Centre and Trasna 8 in the Courthouse Gallery in Ennistymon. both open calls simply gave a brief...

compound eye: something i have been working on for the last few weeks through both my video and print work is the idea of a compound eye in relation to viewing and experiencing landscape and landscape imagery - not from a single viewpoint (attributed to male gaze) but from a multiple view or compound eye...

eye lens: one of the areas that was discussed as part of my recent tutorial with P.G. and C.S. was my use of lens based processes in relation to landscape. of course the lens is an eye, only once removed from the direct experience of the body. i can't help but think that they eye...

audience: i am just after having a look at the work that i put in Halftone Print Fair this year, which is exhibited in The Library Project for the next 2 weeks in Temple Bar. this gallery doubles as a shop for art, print and photography books and is in a very central location in...
