video open calls: continuing to test my video work related to landscape, body and gender with an audience, i came across a curious/challenging open call which i was interested in exploring. this open call is for 2 or 3 festivals - the 'one off film festival', 'leap second festival' (i think?) and will also be...

where i am at: half way through the task, now seems as good a time as any to pause and take stock of where i am at in relation to my testing boundaries task. the plan i set out for myself was to find audiences for my work, first by researching and submitting to open... Continue Reading →
video open calls: having submitted one of my video works to the craft council 'real to real' craft film festival last week, i have been wanting to find some kind of opportunity to reach an audience for my stereo landscape work which i have been gathering and working on an off on over the last...

overview: over the past few months i have been dipping into some texts that might be relevant to, expand or inform my making and my articulation of it. while still very broad, these texts have opened up questions for me about landscape and lens based processes: the haptic and optic experience of landscape and lens...

video open calls: i recently posted about finding an audience for my video work related to my current landscape work, coming to the realisation that, like my print work, there are opportunities available but perhaps video open calls are more prescriptive. seeking an audience, i have now been looking into a range of opportunities for...

as part of testing my boundaries, i signed up for a movement and choreography workshop that i though might relate to my current 'landscape and i' work in some way. i guess that by deciding to participate in this workshop, i wanted to try something new and go beyond my usual processes, thereby testing the...

opportunities & boundaries: for the last few weeks i have been putting my work out there and finding opportunities to show my work to an audience. i am beginning to sense where i am most comfortable in showing my work and it seems to correlate with available 'open call' opportunities (group exhibitions, exchanges) for my...

haptic and optic line and lens: i have been working over the last few days on a new print edition which continues my ongoing look at the relationship between landscape as experience and landscape as image and how this translates to my lens based processes of film and print (digital and analogue). responding to Tim Ingold's...

finding an audience through open calls: i am just back from visiting 'trasna 8' exhibition in the courthouse gallery in Ennistymon County Clare, where i had submitted a print for an open call of A5 art works. as part of my regular online search for opportunities, i came across two open call gallery opportunities for A5...

line: continuing to question my use of analogue and digital processes, i have been thinking of mixing some hand drawn and hand cut lines with digital images of landscape. this follows on from Tim Ingold's text 'Drawing the Line' in Making (2013) which discusses the haptic quality of drawing versus the optic quality of photography....

optic vs haptic: i have just read Tim Ingold's text 'Drawing the Line' in 'Making, Anthropology, Archaeology, Art and Architecture' (2013) about the merits of line as a means of telling. according to Ingold, line is an act of telling because it always has a trace of hand and gesture. Ingold describes lines of gestural... Continue Reading →
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....
