3sinks3structures

After the 20 minute take down of the show HERE, @theart_station I spent some time in the exciting spaces around the building projecting films and then documenting them. I've been creating 3D printed structures that constrict the movement of the fingers. The restrictions look to control and manipulation. The rawness of their design and the play within the videos are interesting but the next stage is to incorporate the ball and joint and hinged structures into bookwork structures. Onto screens - I am your man – deep underlying sadness yet beautiful. Night of Kings – truly magical storytelling. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8132778/

its the last weekend of the exhibition HERE at the art station in Saxmundham - This is my work - the things that dreams are made of and the show has many great works created by other artists - if you are in the area I recommend dropping in - or even if not make the effort to get there.

We'll outlaw your voices, do anything we want
We've nothing to fear from the nation
We'll kick you out your houses if you get too much
If we have to, we'll destroy your generation
We've built up a frontage and we've gained respect
Paul Weller
Standards
1977

You don't know what it is but, there's got to be more
You'd better find a way out, hey kick down that door
It's a rat trap and you've been caught.
Bob Geldof
Rat trap
1978

These works explore control, order, and manipulation.
The social structures and educational systems that supported my journey are gone. The path I took can no longer be taken by people like me.
The clash that takes place on the turntables seeks to provide a space to consider potential and possible connections.

These are the things
These are the things
The things that dreams are made of.
