Wool roving, hand dyed, hand spun, hand knit.
My first project ~ wool to finish!
So much fun!
Finished the mitts while knitting outside in some much needed sun.
I was in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago installing ‘Thought…Process’ a show with Malin Gabriella Nordin at Good Press Gallery. I had a super short residency in their work space and made some new drawings and a single edition zine. Glasgow and Good Press treated me well and the almost foreign sounding accents made me feel like I was on holiday. Sunny, mellow, happy times. Thanks to Matt and Jess for having me.
All my work from the show is available at the Good Press wite:

Stone Mill across the street in 1763 (now known as the Hunterdon Art Museum)
Ralph Hunt built the earliest section of this Mill to process wool sometime around 1810. His wool business failed, however, thanks to a permanent downturn in the market for domestic cloth. By 1820 Ralph confessed to the Census that “the establishment has been doing very little for two or three years past. The demand for sale of the cloths and sattinets are very dull…a few of the farmers get their wool manufactured, but from the low prices of foreign cloths.” Things did not improve and Ralph lost all of the family’s property, more than 400 acres and mills on both sides of the river. He defaulted on his mortgage, and the Taylor family took ownership.
The Red Mill in Operation: 1810 - 1928
From 1828 to 1834 John Bray and John B. Taylor took over running the Woolen Mill. The Taylors, now the dominant merchant family, changed the name of the town from Hunt’s Mills to Clinton, after the popular New York governor DeWitt Clinton. Bray and Taylor continued in the woolen business but they also diversified by grinding feed, flour and stone plaister, as well as by selling chestnut wood for rails. They even opened a dry goods establishment which carried everything from china to sheet iron. But Bray and Taylor also failed in their business, selling it for three quarters of its purchase price.
John W. Snyder, the new owner, refitted the Mill for grist and ceased wool production. But he too quickly fell into debt, and lost the property in 1842. After a swift series of owners, the Easton Bank split the site into a mill and a quarry. In 1847 the Mill was sold to John F. Stiger and John A. Young, who used it to grind flour and grist. In 1868 Young sold his part of the business to his partner, John Stiger, who continued to operate it as a grist mill.
In 1871 Stiger sold the mill and it again changed hands several times before it was purchased by Philip Gulick in 1873. Gulick ground grist on the third and fourth floors of the mill and produced peach baskets in the first level. In 1892 Gulick set up The Clinton Illuminating and Water Co. on the second floor of the mill. It provided electricity for Clinton’s street lamps. Gulick died in 1901 and his widow rented the Mill to Elmer and Chester Tomson and in 1905 they purchased it outright.
Chester changed the mill’s operation to grist to graphite and for a short time the mill became known as the “Black Mill.” The greasy black dust was wildly unpopular in town, and after a public outcry he turned to grinding talc and the Mill was soon dubbed the “White Mill.”

I was brain storming for this one, never thought it was going to be so difficult to come up with a picture. I had so many ideas but wanted to do something different.
Last night after I put my 2 little kiddies to sleep, I was looking around the house for inspiration and found a Square box with 9 story cubes. Light bulb!!!!
I was constructed a set by lifting objects on different levels (books in the corners) to get a different depth of field and making the middle square even higher to have it sharpest. I used a 50mm lens 1.8f @ F2.2 and spot metering and used a light box on the side. Processed in PS.
And about the story Cubes; I rolled them and that is what rolled out, now the story begins with: “Once upon a time “ …… start with the first symbol to grab your attention. There are no wrong answers, the goal is to let the images spark your imagination.
Have a go ;)
