Geometrics
I've been invited by Emma Neuberg to participate in The Geometrics: Volume 1 - An Exhibition and Book of Textiles New Media, New Methods, New Work, which runs from April 20th - May 5th 2013 at Kingsgate Gallery, London.
As well as showing my films and re-imagining the Make_Shape workshop in the space, I'll be giving a talk on my relationship with geometrics in my work as part of a symposium. There's also a talk about the Omega Workshops.Looking forward to that.

In this collaborative ping pong, ideas and reactions that can't be made alone are explored.
The absence of theory alters decision-making allowing for a spontaneous mindset.
Backwards and forwards, call and response, an interruption and collision of meeting points.
Pattern and embellishment escape from garment to wall, the wearable item of clothing itself re-imagined as a scuptural form.

one year
A year has passed. A busy year.
Here is a little update. More, I hope, to follow.
I was involved in the last 2 incarnations of Fashionplay.
Firstly, the Fashionshop at Stockholm's Arkitekturmuseet, in February this year.
In collaboration with Pernilla Rozenberg (Purple Rinse), we started up a process of creating garments to act as a physical dialogue between us. We printed, stitched or manipulated the pieces in some way individually, then handed it over to work on in respectful response. Or to collide with what the other had already made. It was a way to extract ideas and reactions that may not have been made alone, taking away the theory to alter the decision-making.
The show travelled to Motala Konsthall, and in this instance, we made another 2 garments with the same conditions.
There is a rumour that we will show all of the garments in a new installation in Stockholm sometime before the end of the year.

And what will all of this become if not you?
Recently worked on a piece for Detroit's Summer Show.
The embroidery is a mixture of translating snippets of reference images straight from sketchbooks as well as using thread in a more loose, mark making way. I became kind of caught between these two ways of thinking and in the end the whole thing became a bit too tight and more visual/illustrative,- half way through the process I just wanted to stick the needle in and out in a more unthoughtful manner.
There is something about stitch and fabric in reality that I really enjoy; seeing the back thread on the underside,how the fabric behaves when it's slightly pulled, but with this piece at the back of my mind I had the concern that I wanted it to reproduce well as an image.
So, I will go back to the idea of using stitch more like drawing and see what happens.

investigations into repeat patterns
Choosing and laying out small, non-descript objects, playing with them as repeatable motifs in 2 and 3 dimensions. I produced an edition of double sided posters for Book on the Fritz#2. I was interested in the idea of a repeat pattern itself being an editioned piece of work, as the original elements are reproduced within the image, and ultimately, will be repeated infinitely. Editions of editions. Available for sale if you would like one.

Book on the Fritz #02
I've been invited to be part of this in a couple of weeks....thinking about self publishing and editioned work.
And Time vs Process. Time = Process. Need to play and produce within the limitations of both. I've got just over a week. And some plasticine.
Book on the Fritz
“The very idea of collecting, exhibiting and distributing self-published work really makes us happy! Book on the Fritz is an exhibition format dealing with self-publishing in all different shapes and variations. We started the project because we wanted to create an output for self-published projects coming from people whose work we find interesting.
Considering the event itself to be a kind of periodical, one of our aims is to organize it as many times as we can with as many different participants as achievable. In the end Book on the Fritz is a social gathering where we can all meet up.”
Participants: Siri Ahmed Backström, Burning Hell, Byggstudio, Lisa Carlsson, Medium Rare, Eller med a, Alexandra Falagara, Åsa Frölander, Maja Hammarén, Lars Hedelin, Kim Hiorthøy, Conny Karlsson, Sonja Nilsson, Samuel Nyholm, Marie O’Connor, Jeff Olsson, Pol Perez, Plaquette, PWR PAPER, Jalmar Staaf, Anders Stockman & Robert Ågren (Varv), Kajsa Sundin & Matilda Roos, Nille Svensson, Toey Toeytoey

Northern Skies
Was asked to create some artwork for an album by Natalie Gardiner recently.
Spent some time playing around like this. More of which to come later.
Final design. Northern Skies, 2-colour screen print, limited edition. Loved a day in the print room. Need to go back there soon.
