o & a

I went for a walk on Primrose Hill the other day. I like taking photos of buildings the peer into the parks in London. Here are a couple of photo collages, demonstrating the escape of discarded letters from abbreviated words (a project from a couple of years ago) into the ionosphere.

Last night was the third Music and Pictures and this time I remembered to photograph some of it. I'm sorry that some of the photos are poor...

This was an amazing night thanks to the people who exhibited, the people who played and the people who came to see it.

rules for collage

I make collage because it gives me a chance to create something that is purely aesthetic, with no need for justification. Any other work i do is based on concise communication, with a justification for every mark made. The single underlying concept for the collage I make is that it is always constructed from the scrap material left behind from previous projects.



With this concept in mind, I decided to make a piece of collage work, making pieces of aesthetic art out of the 'off-cuts' of abbreviated words. e.g. the 'o' that is cut out of 'not', making 'do not' into 'don't' etc.



I've started making the 'o' piece already, but it's not finished yet.
