The apartment was stunningly minimal and beautiful. Simple living with formal
systems, exquisite choice of materials with superb attention to detail. The
building forms part of modernist walking tour of which there are so many
amazing examples in the city. Spent the days wandering, eating, drinking,
looking at architecture and enjoying the weather. Got to fulfil a
psychogeography dream of walking to and from the airport. You walk out of town
through unloved, non-defensible, seemingly unowned spaces, into a landscape of
salt marsh, creaks, littered fences, under big skies. Watching planes taxi,
land and take off through a perimeter fence. Faro is a great place to eat, as
ever heading to dark back streets gets you the best food. As well as fresh food
and general otherness the central market is awash with great cafe style eating.
It’s difficult not to get excited about repeat pattern in a town covered in
tiles. Churches in the area are full on - startling religious imagery,
reliquaries, and garments. The museum reenacts various traditional activity
through life-size dioramas and models.</span></span><p></p>new workhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03279659331266522263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141319081408700563.post-36219976288119727702024-03-02T01:34:00.000-08:002024-03-02T01:34:02.552-08:00itsallgogogo<p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXLebLQfvYSgBx5WO2hFxRCKLp2GeoRUbmeeUd5e4xGQnaYIiPCBy7V6Np6D_jeNXu7LWnwp2EwEAlHMbhfcj6PXQJYxJwcGQWRP7YLP4hnw_zKvzfCWDNTTKLx3-5bUWTGTq2W4tJJpKCz9gIkupo-VuYCaTN5F-zjd5_V1B3XDl5RczPhpFDmEmXWHU/s709/all.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="709" data-original-width="531" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXLebLQfvYSgBx5WO2hFxRCKLp2GeoRUbmeeUd5e4xGQnaYIiPCBy7V6Np6D_jeNXu7LWnwp2EwEAlHMbhfcj6PXQJYxJwcGQWRP7YLP4hnw_zKvzfCWDNTTKLx3-5bUWTGTq2W4tJJpKCz9gIkupo-VuYCaTN5F-zjd5_V1B3XDl5RczPhpFDmEmXWHU/s320/all.gif" width="240" /></a></div><br />A morning of Pecha Kucha’s at Kings

full day at Kings - What is gained through the process of translation? An
initial idea, manifest in words focused into an equation and then made 3D in
response. Following the process led to fantastical outcomes. I'm so excited to
see how the projects develop and what the students eventually end up with. The
afternoon was all about death and bodies - more drawing in the dissecting room.
Being in the presence of so much emptiness is so odd yet strangely I seem drawn
to the room and its otherness. The stacks of body parts can be disconcerting
but when one part is laid out on the metal table, I feel able to focus my
looking, making initial tentative marks, wanting to do 'right' in some
way. <b>Seager gallery</b> <a href="https://www.seagergallery.com/matchmaking">https://www.seagergallery.com/matchmaking

week was all about recognizing and harnessing graphic communication tools - how
do we communicate without words? In 11/2 hours we went from literally nothing
to full table displays of environments containing characters with extensive
narratives via genetics, translation and family trees. Glorious. Part of the
workshop was to pay homage to a work by Donald Rodney - the film is one
outcome. Popped into the curve gallery Barbican to revisit <b style="font-family: arial;">Julianknxx</b><span style="font-family: arial;">
exhibition - </span><b style="font-family: arial;">choras in memory of flight</b><span style="font-family: arial;">. It is very moving, especially
the first film, the character seemingly taken over, their body convulsing. Onto
screens - I rewatched </span><b style="font-family: arial;">Ad Astra</b><span style="font-family: arial;"> - so moving - the attempt at connecting
with a father over a huge distance only to let it all go left me a little
bereft. </span><b style="font-family: arial;">Zone of Interest </b><span style="font-family: arial;">- I was so worn by it - the endless everyday

3 on the synthetic anatomy module at Kings was fantastic – the bag anatomy session
was a treat as proto scientists gave meaning to inanimate objects, just as I
said artist's have titled their work, the titles giving entry points and meaning. <span style="background: white; color: #222222;">The module goes from strength to
strength </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">It’s great to value each years’ experience, </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">with our learning building on and with each years knowledge rather than a wholesale
rewriting of the course every year. What is it to communicate without being able to talk? I
like the idea of rules, systems, choice and how intuition is navigated within
the workshop.The afternoon was spent drawing in the dissecting room. Alone in
a room with dead people and fridges of many random parts of dead
people was 'interesting', a strange privilage. I spent a lot of time looking, and marvelling at what
I had on the table in front of me. It was only after that I realized that I had
focused on hands and feet, the places I had just tattooed. Exploring the bones
and tendons under the skin explains the intense pain the week before!
Juxtaposing the images of my tattoos with my drawings seems to make sense as
resolved outcomes. It was a real privilege. </span><span>Onto

equation for a successful experiment there was many revelatory moments and
simultaneously it enabled the groups to bond, each member sharing their skills
and identifying their strengths. I think all courses with or without
collaboration could use this idea. After lunch it was off to 3 hours of
tattooing - l'm a little sore - the feet were particularly painful but it all
looks amazing and as well as placement, where it explores the mechanics of the
body the new work has an interesting dialogue with the existing marks - another
beautiful job by @jims_skins There is a nice show @outpost.gallery in
Norwich - they do a great job of supporting young practice with a scheme that
gives access to free studio space. Liked the work of @alysfineart - lots of
possibility in the pieces. Onto screens
- <b>Anatomy of a Fall</b> – mesmerizing truths laid out to seduce your
prejudice. <b>The Boys in the Boat</b> – initially unsure if this wasn’t a ‘Hallmark’
film – mawkish soundtrack. <b>Next

Meanwhile - working at Kings -
Synthetic Anatomy Day 1 - I think there is some interesting research to be
undertaken about iteration around teaching. I think this year’s 1st day was
possibility one of our best - clarity of intention was key, we are getting very
good at working with students to develop learning criteria. The session was
excellent, building a shared understand whilst simultaneously surprising
ourselves. There were some interesting conversations which I brought back into
my world, both as anecdotes and also into my own practice as a maker. I particularly
liked the idea of the wildcard criteria that could be a driver of one’s own iterative
process. Interested that what we value is what we decide to measure or is it
what we measure is what we decide to value. I loved the idea of a 'good
version' of a 'bad' bridge being 'better' than a 'bad version' of a 'good
bridge' and the structures themselves were fascinating – on the way home I
continued to read </span><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">12 bytes - Jeanette Winterson.</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> It's a collection of
thoughts whose focus is ai - it was fascinating finding out the way quantum
computers (the next generation) work - that quantum bits exist in many places
but when observed (measured) they take on a defined form and can be observed only
in one! Unsure how that relates but in some way it seems relevant to the
conversations that came out of the crits. Onto Screens - </span><b>The

3D printing – extending some of the strands of research. The pieces with the
translucent material have become more complex in their construction, seeing the
internal structures gives the impression of freezing individual ‘sheets’ in
time. Adding colour is something I’ve wanted to get involved with for a while,
defining edges and enabling the feeling of floating. The monochrome piece takes
the work back to referencing basketwork, playing with the layers gives it the
‘handmade’ quality. <span style="font-family: arial;">Onto screens - </span><b style="font-family: arial;">Bottoms </b><span style="font-family: arial;">- was fun once you get into

work with 3D printing. The new series of works started off looking at a single

within the work, although the page appears trapped in time. The transparency of

Eating your way through the evening/night in bars with plates of extraordinary food - highlights include - squid sandwiches - fried pigs ear - and of course patatas bravas but I could just list everything I ate. Spending time with 'old art' in the big 3 galleries is mind blowing. "Oh that's where it is" becomes a common refrain' especially in the Prado. The highlights from your knowledge of art history come thick and fast - Goya and his depiction of the Royal Family, did he actually like any if his sitters? Raphael's history paintings, Bosch's interior world in the garden of earthly delights, Caravaggio's brooding world view, a room of Zurbaran's still lives containing objects you feel you could pick up, the details in the clothes that Velazquez sitters are wearing. I was transfixed by the red eyes of an onlooker in Van der Weyden's descent from the cross, obviously previously upset but now trying to hold back tears. The luminescence of Fra Angelica's The Annunciation takes your breath away. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">There are a couple of strands of research to embark on - the labels in Museo National Centro de Arte Reina Sofia were extraordinary, a work in themselves, something to consider. I thought about the idea of the witness, the one person slightly outside the main focus, towards the edge of a painting or photograph sometimes looking out at the viewer. What were they doing there? How did they get there? What are they thinking? Again something that has previously occupied my thoughts - how hands are used, what are they holding? The meaning, the symbolism of the objects that would of been understood, now lost to the majority of viewers. How blood is depicted in paintings, if you were nailed would the blood look like it does in say a Durer or would it be more like the slain in Goya's The Execution's? Other notes include - Walking with bread / objects on your head after watching Louis Bunuel's L'age d'Or Extraordinary titles of organizations - for example - the Crossbowmans guild of Louvain, The grand cross of the order of the reunion. If the rules are that there are no rules what are the rules? A need to find out about the Strappo technique of removing murals and the meaning if the sticks/staffs held by the members of the Royal Family in Velazquez paintings. To look again at the knots used to tie up Jesus. The idea of the thread of life controlled by the fates in Goya's black paintings. The list goes on - lots of breathing in, there is a need to breathe out, can't wait to get into the studio. </span></span><p></p>new workhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03279659331266522263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141319081408700563.post-57375548504658419492023-10-17T02:36:00.000-07:002023-10-17T02:36:25.078-07:00lookingandreadingtheexquisite<p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #222222;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPI05slCIN1BPFNTJlhe-5gykQkvFySSnHeGQZ0sl_neE3MIHLRs0bO7ew1brZ19pH5bmlru7VJFPIOCLc7dlfVmMsg-eQXT9oQ5r2rmlgcRnl2ydzvJ9dUAlVKbMpKON1L3H3Xm17-j16bDS9wtp2yEnP5fWs9pfjF4uSVYegW0uxJFcraqf_J-niqhY/s709/IMG_20231017_102110.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="709" data-original-width="531" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPI05slCIN1BPFNTJlhe-5gykQkvFySSnHeGQZ0sl_neE3MIHLRs0bO7ew1brZ19pH5bmlru7VJFPIOCLc7dlfVmMsg-eQXT9oQ5r2rmlgcRnl2ydzvJ9dUAlVKbMpKON1L3H3Xm17-j16bDS9wtp2yEnP5fWs9pfjF4uSVYegW0uxJFcraqf_J-niqhY/s320/IMG_20231017_102110.jpg" width="240" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />I think that I’m

Ingold</span></b></span></b></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Learning through making, often referred to as
"learning by doing," is an educational approach that emphasizes
active engagement and hands-on experiences as a means of acquiring knowledge
and skills. This approach aligns closely with the work of Tim Ingold, a
prominent anthropologist and scholar in the fields of anthropology,
archaeology, and environmental studies. Ingold's work has explored the
intersection of human creativity, skill development, and learning through
practical activities.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Here are some key concepts from Ingold's work that relate
to learning through making:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Skill and Practice:</b> Ingold argues that skills are
not abstract entities but are embodied in the actions and practices of
individuals. Learning a skill involves continuous practice and refinement
through doing. Skills are honed through engagement with materials and the
environment.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Making as a Way of Knowing:</b> Ingold suggests that
making is not merely a means to an end but a way of knowing and understanding the
world. Through making, individuals engage with materials, tools, and processes,
gaining insights and knowledge that may not be accessible through passive
observation or abstract thinking alone.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Materials and Tools</b>: The choice of materials and
tools plays a significant role in the learning process. Ingold emphasizes the
importance of a deep relationship between the maker and the materials they work
with. Different materials and tools offer unique affordances and constraints
that shape the learning experience.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Process-Oriented Learning:</b> Learning through making
is a process-oriented approach. It values the journey of exploration,
experimentation, and problem-solving, rather than focusing solely on the end
product. Mistakes and failures are seen as opportunities for learning and
growth.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Embodied Knowledge</b>: Ingold's work highlights the
embodied nature of knowledge. Learning is not a purely cognitive activity but
is deeply connected to the body and sensory perception. Through hands-on
engagement, individuals develop a bodily knowledge that complements
intellectual understanding.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Contextual Learning:</b> Learning through making is
deeply contextual. It takes into account the specific cultural, social, and
environmental contexts in which making activities occur. This context shapes
both the practices and the knowledge that emerge from them.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b>Community and Collaboration</b>: Ingold's work also
emphasizes the role of communities and social networks in learning through
making. Knowledge and skills are often shared and transmitted within
communities of practice where individuals collaborate, share experiences, and
learn from one another.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: arial;">Incorporating these ideas into educational settings can
involve project-based learning, experiential learning, and hands-on activities
that encourage students to actively engage with the subject matter. By
embracing learning through making, educators can help students develop not only
practical skills but also a deeper understanding of the world and a sense of
agency in their own learning journey.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p></o:p></p>new workhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03279659331266522263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141319081408700563.post-61368015113119315582023-10-08T10:10:00.001-07:002023-10-08T10:10:14.131-07:00collectingthinking<p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb3oly0y0eHowHHr32W9ybRGnYcRZkWcILI_3ulwvOCrYhcjXSg7PhmdegXVXA9g9bcMh4EYkCn4JTbPC7VSg576ytFVhbzuKWNSqUIOyyHF_0FWcfifZSCJ0cm2IU-XpLMwfUj-k7qsWYbtQ3KY-2Kp1AczkswOhql0SBnM4-ejp97IjqiCf-w0VUNAk/s709/IMG_20231006_211447.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="709" data-original-width="531" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb3oly0y0eHowHHr32W9ybRGnYcRZkWcILI_3ulwvOCrYhcjXSg7PhmdegXVXA9g9bcMh4EYkCn4JTbPC7VSg576ytFVhbzuKWNSqUIOyyHF_0FWcfifZSCJ0cm2IU-XpLMwfUj-k7qsWYbtQ3KY-2Kp1AczkswOhql0SBnM4-ejp97IjqiCf-w0VUNAk/s320/IMG_20231006_211447.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkCMx07f1YyiZqd8nfSPBw_jMsg0TVP2DAMFS30RwUpOCScTzZhDxXrWLGIIgc-oEFx7qMpMpuylSHRiJ1Jc-S1ODoAsc2j5y5JOdEMGppcx5vxmnf82WGCYgOIAgIzz1frMfha-Jw_D6nylK1LjE7dA9OhDMJobJQtYe1I5j0QUqhmHSzmpoEpgOM5i8/s709/IMG_20231007_152402%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="531" data-original-width="709" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkCMx07f1YyiZqd8nfSPBw_jMsg0TVP2DAMFS30RwUpOCScTzZhDxXrWLGIIgc-oEFx7qMpMpuylSHRiJ1Jc-S1ODoAsc2j5y5JOdEMGppcx5vxmnf82WGCYgOIAgIzz1frMfha-Jw_D6nylK1LjE7dA9OhDMJobJQtYe1I5j0QUqhmHSzmpoEpgOM5i8/s320/IMG_20231007_152402%20(1).jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I
have been working with 3D printing over the past 6 months with a specific idea
in mind. I’ve been attempting to create work that is on the edge of collapsing,
trying to explore the ‘handmadeness’ within the process. The output of 3D printing
often leads to the design route, making art with it is a challenge but when pushing
its structural parameters, the work starts to reference natural structures. After
a great conversation at Kings this week I realised that I have been working with
ideas adjacent to <span style="background: white; font-family: arial;">the engineering
concept that is "form-finding</span><span style="font-family: arial;">”, a </span><span style="font-family: arial;">design process by which
the shape of structures and systems is determined. </span><span style="color: #101828; font-family: arial;">The
idea is to achieve the optimal form that delivers dynamic stability,
adaptability, and sustainability. It considers structural stability, functionality,
and beauty.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial;">A busy weekend - Managed to get to Dance East – I’ve
missed so many dance events due to clashes - being away and friends significant
parties but the double bill </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial;">unknown realms</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial;"> was too much of a pull even
on a Friday night after a busy week - not excellent but interesting. Prompted
conversation about what's new in dance, focused on ideas of the modern and
contemporary. Next up </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial;">Laurence Edwards</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial;"> and </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial;">Alex Jennings</b><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #222222; font-family: arial;"> at
Jubilee Hall. Live sculpting while talking about creating characters. A
truly mesmerizing experience, I was captivated, and the 2 hours just flew by, being
totally in the room was exhausting, focusing on the experience of watching
somebody make something in real time.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #222222;">I reflected on the visual memory I have after experiencing
all the museums and galleries I have encountered, and all the objects within. The
idea of learning through making, how we experience the world through our hands
as much as our eyes. </span><span style="color: black;">Ingold argues that creativity
emerges from within an ongoing, improvisational process between makers, materials,
and other non-human things such as tools and the physical environment. Also,
</span><span style="color: #222222;">Ideas
around public/private, the studio and the gallery v the rehearsal room and the
stage, </span><span style="color: black;">– something I’ve thought about with the
scientists and the science spaces I have worked with and in. some words from a previous experience...........</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><i><span style="background: white; color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial;">“The glove
box and the laboratory are very specific spaces. That they often protect the
specimen within the experiment from us rather than us from it is an intriguing
idea. These spaces created to manipulate objects are contained, clean, dry in
an attempt to be 'non'. Within this extraordinary space, specific
materials and situations are monitored, ready to be recreated, actions
controlled to be repeated. These spaces have their parallel in the art world:
the space of the gallery, the white cube where the art is on show, an anonymous
space where the art is supposedly the focus. Obviously, no space is neutral and
each have their meanings, which can be read, but the aspiration to create a
static continuum brings to mind the words of Heraclitus 'No man ever steps
in the same river twice, for it's
not the same river and he's not the same man.'
It appears that science and art are constantly trying to create a time
and space where the river is still”.</span></span></i><i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></p>

Structures</span></b><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">In the realm of scientific exploration, innovation often
stems from the unlikeliest of sources. One such avenue of inspiration has been
found in the use of cardboard structures. This intriguing collaboration between
scientists and humble cardboard has led to a fascinating world of discovery,
demonstrating the boundless ingenuity of the human mind.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">At first glance, cardboard might seem unassuming and perhaps
even inconsequential in the grand scheme of scientific progress. Yet, when
coupled with creative minds, it transforms into a medium of exploration that
transcends its basic form. I have embarked with scientists on a creative
journey, designing intricate cardboard structures that mirror complex
scientific phenomena. These structures serve as tangible, visual
representations of abstract concepts, enabling researchers to communicate
intricate ideas in a universally understandable manner. In the making of
cardboard structures we set out to go beyond mere visual representation it
extended into the realm of hands-on experimentation. Learning through observing
and touching.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Whilst observing the work undertaken in the laboratory I
created a specific body of work. I began by closely observing the scientists
explaining their processes, drawing inspiration from the intricacies of human
hand movements undertaken by demonstrators in the role of science
communication. This tangible interaction with cardboard brought forth an
intuitive understanding of scientific concepts that might otherwise remain
confined to complex equations and theories. The cardboard structures I created were
more than static models; they became dynamic representations of articulation.
We introduced basic concepts of bio mechanics, considering the range of motion, and
joint limitations. Geometry played a pivotal role in this endeavor. Crafting
shapes that mirrored hand gestures, we engaged with angular measurements,
spatial relationships, and symmetry. By manipulating these cardboard shapes, we
illustrated geometric transformations, connecting the abstract world of
mathematics to tangible creations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The cardboard structures were often painted or marked to
visually convey the relevant elements of the scientific concept. Color-coded
sections, labels, and symbols aid in highlighting crucial features and
facilitate better understanding. The visual cues enhanced the engagement of
learners and made the abstract ideas more accessible. Interactive Learning is
key. One of the key advantages of this method is its interactive nature. The
cardboard structures act as hands-on teaching tools, encouraging participants
to manipulate the structures themselves. By physically engaging with the
structures, learners gain a deeper comprehension of the scientific concept, as
the connection between the hand movements and the underlying principles becomes
more understandable. As with any creative endeavor, refinement is an ongoing
process. By sharing the work I gathered feedback from participants and peers,
seeking ways to improve the clarity and effectiveness of the cardboard
structures. This iterative approach ensures that the final product is not only
scientifically accurate but also optimally engaging.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The experiment also delved into the realm of materials
science. Selecting the right cardboard thickness and flexibility alongside the materials
used to create the joints. This allowed us to understand how structural
integrity and flexibility are essential for proper movement. This practical
application of materials science deepened our appreciation for the balance between
strength and flexibility in biological structures. We explored the principles
of feedback and control systems. By introducing simple mechanisms to alter the
cardboard structures motion, we tackled the intricacies of closed-loop control
systems, mirroring the body's ability to adjust movements based on sensory
feedback. We were able to feel scientific concepts.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The combination of scientific curiosity and cardboard
ingenuity has given rise to a world of exploration that transcends the
boundaries of traditional methodologies. Using cardboard structures, we unveiled
the hidden and revealed the elegance of complex theories with simple gestures.
These tangible representations foster a deeper understanding of intricate
scientific concepts, engaging scientists, researchers, and students. Cardboard can
be used to simulate and study phenomena that are otherwise inaccessible due to
scale, danger, or complexity. Cardboard offers a safe, cheap, and interactive
platform for scientists to test hypotheses, refine theories, and educate
aspiring minds. As we continue to push the boundaries of knowledge, it’s
important not to forget that even the most unassuming materials can serve as
powerful catalysts for discovery.</span><o:p></o:p></p>new workhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03279659331266522263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141319081408700563.post-15033671245406533182023-10-04T06:39:00.002-07:002023-10-04T06:39:30.871-07:00futurepossibilities<p><span style="font-family: arial;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-SF-MEcWTdLoGavVo-EdKoyfjXmdDK8Ep1LZU6iCA4Ly-5kbHGjQZ7KY8QQ03IcG-ltad31_yA7H0Ba0U7l13Kx41jIeIj2oanulmnZ2rT1UZu0X_HNGNyDqH1xZXL7nmOs46LbVs2G98ZTAfI0-U2oINZ84tO4xrOuabmdd3WGoE74qTRPrkh4RzH1o/s709/xx.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="709" data-original-width="531" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-SF-MEcWTdLoGavVo-EdKoyfjXmdDK8Ep1LZU6iCA4Ly-5kbHGjQZ7KY8QQ03IcG-ltad31_yA7H0Ba0U7l13Kx41jIeIj2oanulmnZ2rT1UZu0X_HNGNyDqH1xZXL7nmOs46LbVs2G98ZTAfI0-U2oINZ84tO4xrOuabmdd3WGoE74qTRPrkh4RzH1o/s320/xx.gif" width="240" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;">After a great meeting at Kings discussing future possibilities

of a collaboration called Oblivion Boys Press and we were invited to exhibit at
Nigel Greenwood Gallery. At the center of the show was an editioned bookwork
called Elsewhere. It was printed in an edition of 50, had wooden covers and
contained 250 hand carved rubber stamps that were cut whilst I sat on the floor
in a flat in London. They were also used as a fresco in the entrance to the
gallery and around the wall. They were then secured away in a box which traveled with me to a studio in Lincoln and then to my studio in Suffolk.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: arial;">36 years later my
eldest son who is a tattooist was in my studio, and he has an idea. He proposes
to use the stamps within his own practice. The stamps now have another life and
tools that were once used to make temporary prints on paper are now used to mark
strangers who are making their own sense of the images. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I have found the
whole process fascinating. I’ve been watching them be revived from their
abandonment, celebrated, and loved by others. I say watching but this has been
through Instagram, a medium that I could of only conceived of by exploring
ideas from science fiction. This inter generational, time based collaboration has
so many layers to explore; the idea of storytelling, ownership, control and our
connections to the creative process.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
