research and making: one of the things that i noticed when i was doing my 'residency' was the two way process of research and making, not mutually exclusive but co-existing. prior to starting exploratory making on the 'residency' i had been doing a lot of research reading and writing on landscape and lens as an...

contact through lens: contact sheet series (day 5 & 6: landscape & lens ‘residency’)
day 5 & 6: for my last couple of days here, i wanted to just slow down: pause in the landscape as opposed to move through it. i have been thinking of developing a series of screen prints in a 'contact sheet' format mainly because i am interested in taking a multiple view approach to...

frame & framed: analogue versus digital technology (day 4: landscape & lens ‘residency’)
day four: we are having such beautiful weather here at the moment that it's not hard to put in a few hours exploratory making on the mountains. today i got up early and headed for lake muskry in the galtee mountains as i wanted to avoid other walkers incase i wanted to film. i also...

handshake landscape handscape landshake: a shutter speed series (day 3: landscape and lens ‘residency’)
day 3: i went up to the woods today and with a plan this time. returning to the action of the camera again but this time to explore or maybe reinforce the lens as an embodied practice by changing one of its technical aspects which directly links to the action of the body - the shutter...

landscape: framed by the framer (day 2: landscape and lens ‘residency’)
day 2: for day two I took off up the galtee mountains again and, like yesterday, my exploratory work started in an unplanned way. as well as thinking about landscape and lens, i wanted to take a quick selfie on the mountains for a FB post. again I was struck by the idea myself as framer...

landscape and lens ‘residency’ (day 1 to 5)
lens versus eye - an iso series (day 1: landscape and lens 'residency') creating a 'residency': after revisiting my PPP, i have been thinking about creating my own residency because so many residences that i've researched either don't suit my available time frame due to work commitments or do not suit the kind of exploratory...

stereograph landscape (developing a series)
developing a series: i just spent the last few days working on 3 editions of screen prints which uses a dual image to create a single image through a stereograph - like the way the human eye uses binocular stereopsis - a slight shift in the framing from left to right. this is all part...

stereograph landscape (making day continued)
methodical approach to colour: following on from making day, where i went through the C and K of the CMYK screen printing process for a landscape image to test on my stereograph, i spent the rest of the day and weekend working through the MY of the CMYK process in a very methodical way. this...

stereograph landscape (testing boundaries on making day)
testing the framing of landscape: as a follow on from my stereo landscape i bought a stereoscope with the idea of exploring landscape as image through a compound eye - rather than a single fixed perspective associated with gender, which is something i have been exploring and challenging in my making and research. the composite,...

looking back to looking forward (testing practice)
so far: looking back on my work related to the testing my boundaries task, there are lots of ideas to consider taking forward. one of the things that i have learned from the boundaries task was the relationship with audience and my making. i think going forward i want to continue to make work in...
