A mock up using newspaper. I thought that I could individualise these boxes by using photographs of the intended recipients.
the chair was only there on Fairfax Avenue for his one photo. The next
day and subsequently it was gone !
Continuing thoughts about identity and a sense of self.
I looked at a mummy in Leeds museum at the weekend and it struck me that until you read the information attached to the artifact you are unable to attach a meaning to what you are seeing.... sex, age, status etc.
This is a sample piece using brown paper, stitch and gesso, and by unravelling part of the stitch I hope to suggest that the very stiff pose, which could mean a rather disciplined person, is in fact an illusion.
The piece is about 2 inches high.
This shows machine embroidery on to a sandwich of chiffon, knitting and a cotton base.
The wool fibres of the knitted piece have been trapped behind the chiffon, but when I burn away the chiffon with a heat gun, some of the fibres will spring back.
First doll I've made in months. It's also my first doll using somebody else's pattern. Couldn't resist adapting it though, so she's going to be pregnant!
Work in progress from our weekend on the Sail Club island during a camp for the kids. I thought the sketch was too unfinished like this, but then the end result is kind of over worked. Should I have quitted here anyway?
Acrylic on Board
Work in Progress
Background still needs work and the odd bit of tweaking. Almost there
I promise it's straight, this is the best photo I could get before the wind blew it down.
Still need to add borders, I'm debating doing pieced ones but I'm not sure if I have any patience left in me.

I'm working on some collage/assemblage/mixed media stuff. I haven't done that for a while.
That is my hand reflected in the fish mirror.
Another go at the image I took last week though this time it's on a tripod.
5x4 is at the hospital...
Close-up of new elbow layout. I like this change a LOT, it allows for full range of motion without looking too gangly.
After four hard months of a total rebuild and extension I am now in possession of a studio. This is still a storage area pending decoration, and as I have to complete a four foot hanging in the next two days I am forced to work in a very tiny area in part of this room.
I have shown here my pin board with my "tapestry" attached to it. I am trying to position the daisy and the bottom border here. Lots more work to do!
For TR, because he inspired it...I just don't have the inspiration or drive to finish it.
The idea was to create a submarine with the ability to deploy an aquatic-capable mobile suit. It more or less can do this, and has the rough shape I want, but I kind of lost interest and want to build something else. Maybe I will return to it one day...
Half completed items waiting for attention.
I had intended to spend the morning in the garden but a continuation of the recent heavy rain has caused a change of plan.
This scavenger hunt will be linked through twitter. These NL taps will be hidden throughout Northern Liberties, hints will be given each day for a week. The first person to find it will receive an open bar at participating NoLibs bars.
One of the rarest flowers in England. In fact so rare it has its own 20 foot by 40 foot cage for protection and visits to see the flower are by permit only and accompanied by the warden and arranged through the Wildlife Trust. The route into the flower was so overgrown and complicated (maybe deliberately so) that I'm not sure I could ever find it again anyway. It was also difficult to photograph given how far away the cage made us and several people in the group (30 people altogether) only had relatively short focal length macro lenses which would have meant a very small flower in their images. Not the greatest photograph but included for rarity value.
Some drawings I made, ultimately intended to be traced onto clay.
Starting at top right, clockwise: Greater Glider (Petauroides volans), Musky Rat-kangaroo (Hypsiprymnodon moschatus), Common Wombat (Vombatus ursinus), Panther Chameleon (Furcifer pardalis), Golden-rumped Elephant Shrew (Rhynchocyon chrysopygus).
Entirely needle felted from wool fiber, non-functional.
These photos are casual shots of components that will become a large installation piece for Bellevue Arts Museum Biennial 2012: High Fiber Diet
Once I got the basic design of the button down (let's call it a sort of square top hat) I spent a bunch of time iterating - making slightly different versions, jamming them in my pocket, and trying to get them to fault.
While I was doing this lilia was ninja chopping the code. We still need to develop how we process the signals. Signal processing, ah. What does a button press look like? How long should it send a signal for? How long should it wait before sending another one?
