A commission I had, to design and make free-standing hardware for a permanent, interactive sound installation for Cleethorpes Academy, North East Lincolnshire, UK.
The hardware consists of 6 infra-red sensor units and 1 lectern that houses an iPad.
The sensor units pick up and track movement. This is all linked to special iPad software created by David Stevens and Simon Desorgher.
The equipment will predominantly be used to aid music and sound lessons and performances. The interactive system is great for children, as they don’t need dexterity in order to get involved and play with sound.
2013 Recapitulations - Video Presentation of Paintings & Installations
In 2013, I continued to explore the intricacy of patterns, and stylized presentations which were neither naturalism nor pure abstraction, as means to express distilled concepts and emotion; at the mean time, I did make a couple paintings which were purely abstract work and figurative painting. I also continued to develop works on the theme of a reoccurring motif - white dresses, which to me, were both highly individual and impersonal, simultaneously free and constrained. Finally, a variation of the white dresses - a painting of a black dress, was added to the growing series at the end of the year.
Following my own tradition, I compiled my paintings and major installations completed in 2013 into a video presentation.

The "Radialign" laser alignment device ensures refractory is installed perpendicular to the axis of the kiln. The use of the Radialign prevents errors from being made due to manual measurement from distorted or worn away weld seams.
Hundreds of soldiers, civilians, family members and friends gathered at the Iron Mike Conference Center Oct. 30 at 11 a.m. for the 29th Annual Fort Bragg Installation Awards. The theme for the event was 29 Years of “Going the Extra Mile.”

This was an installation of balloons bearing the word kind- every participant was inviting to write a label to a stranger- the balloons were then handed on- the ida was to encourage connection and kindness. Since 2013 when I first started this, I have learned a lot bout how harmful to the environment plastic balloons are- but I hope the messages and the writing of them still did some good.

Installation - Pete Majendie
One year ago on the 22 Feb 2010 , a violent earthquake took the lives of 185 people. People of all ages, of many nationalities, all of them our whanau. Our city was destroyed. Here we are invited to choose a chair, rest and reflect on what we have lost, what we have gained.

It's up until Feb. 9, 2008. If you are in NYC, go see this (it's near the MOMA)
I was lucky to catch this installation at the Cathedral in April 2018, it was only up for a few more days but looked amazing while it lasted.
Hereford Cathedral is a fascinating place, not one of largest cathedrals or considered amongst the most architecturally significant, but one of the most interesting and rewarding nonetheless. It follows the usual cruciform plan for large churches but here the nave is the longest limb, the choir being relatively short for a cathedral, though the church extends further eastwards in the fine retrochoir and lady chapel. there are an eastern pair of transepts too, though here they do not rise above aisle roof level.
The central tower dominates the small city's skyline, but much less today than it once did, for originally it was crowned by a tall lead spire, and in addition there was a similar, slightly smaller tower at the west end (without a spire) thus the building's profile was very different to what we see today. Sadly this fine building has suffered several tragedies in it's history, the greatest of which was in 1786, when the west tower suddenly collapsed following an earth tremor, taking much of the nave with it. The architect chosen for the reconstruction was the notorious James Wyatt, who demolished all the remaining upper sections of the nave and substituted them with his own rather bland interpretation of Gothic. He also shortened the nave by one bay and built a rather mean west facade without rebuilding the west tower (the main tower also lost it's spire around this time). The present west facade is a more exuberant rebuilding by John Oldrid Scott from 1902-8.
The cathedral has generally been heavily restored throughout the 19th century (largely due to the red sandstone of it's construction) and parts of the exterior betray this, particularly the east facades of choir and Lady Chapel. There is still much to enjoy though, especially the 14th century tower with it's rich ballflower decoration. Entry is normally via the grand north porch, whichj has a large upper chapel and staircases either side, formerly for the veneration of relics.
The interior shows much more 12th century Norman work than the exterior suggests, with the main nave arcade, crossing arches, and much of the choir and south transept still substantially Romanesque structures. Aside from Wyatt's 1788 rebuilding of the upper parts of the nave, the rest is mostly of late 13th - early 14th century date, with distinctive window design of the Decorated period found throughout the nave and choir aisles. The most remarkable feature is the north transept, a unique design dating to c1260, where the Gothic arches and window heads are almost triangular in form.
There is a substantial complex of additional monastic buildings, including two cloisters, the main one being south of the nave (only the east and south sides remain) and the Vicar's Choral cloister, accessed via a long walkway off the south east corner, and still inhabited by cathedral staff and thus private. The real tragedy here is the chapter house, of which very little remains. This was once arguably the most exceptionally beautiful in the country, being ten-sided and covered by an exquisite fan vault. It was sadly neglected following the Civil War and demolished soon afterwards, a grevious loss.
The cathedral retains a fine set of 14th century choir stalls with carved misercords complete with the canopied bishop's throne. The font is Norman and features defaced figures of apostles and is guarded by four lions. The stained glass is mostly Victorian with only a few 15th century fragments in a south nave window and some good (but restored) 13th century scenes and grisaille in a Lady Chapel window. The best of the glass is found in the two smallest chapels, the Stanbury and Audley chantries, with Arts & Crafts and stunning contemporary work by Denny respectively. There was a rich Victorian metal choir screen at the crossing by G.G.Scott, but this was removed in the 1950s and is now (after years of storage and neglect) a major feature in the entrance to the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. A contemporary candleabrum, the 'Corona', now hangs in it's place.
The set of monumental effigies is one of the most extensive in any English cathedral, but only a few are of the finest quality, and many have suffered later disfigurement, in the case of the medieval bishops' tombs several figures have been quite literally de-faced, whilst the post-Reformation tombs clearly offended Wyatt, who removed their architectural settings altogether leaving only the recumbent effigies randomly placed throughout the church.
But last word must go to the most famous relic of Hereford, the Mappa Mundi, the renowned c1280 map of the medieval World and the star exhibit of the famous chained library, now housed in a modern extension at the south west corner of the cloister.
