Busy with work, school holidays and doing rough development sketch work that's not for posting 😞 So here's something I like, done with #fountainpen... Backyard hillybilly Mecha
Ready for opening! At TaKe Sushibar in #Palma, "A Life Cycle" will evolve on the Mediterranean island during the next 4 months. Very much looking forward to see some good old friends. #algorithmicart#MastoArt#shaders#slowArt
Jan Kaplický Drawings. Probably the most important book I've bought in many years. My father is an architect & I have vivid memories of an arch. magazine with Kaplický's concepts in it. They, along with Chris Foss's '21st Century Foss' set me on a trajectory I am still travelling. Finding this book over the weekend makes it feel like everything of the past year has fallen into place.
Ya gotta pick the right weapon son, no point bringing a knife to a gun fight.
I love working in graphite, and all my fine art pieces for Sub Orbital Machine are done with it. But I have to accept that for some work, you just have to go ink...
Digital tools offer all sorts of advantages, mostly the lack of 'mess' and unlimited, 'non-destructive' undos, but there is a huge joy and mental calm that comes from using analogue tools in what you could call #slowart
They offer a chance to stop, contemplate and refine what you're doing in a non demanding way that digital just can not do.
Chatted to a friend about ‘slow art’ last night: an idea I’m getting increasingly passionate about (from aesthetic, environmental, political, even existential perspectives).
As much as it’s about getting more out of an art work, I think it also liberates the self in all sorts of interesting ways.
I've been reminded in some of the @vcaresidency discussions about how rewarding it is to stop scrolling and spend time just looking at an artist's work.
