First showing of new video piece at Torriano Meeting House in Kentish Town yesterday evening. The work was projected during a reading by Frances Presley from her new book Halse for Hazel. Eventually, the video will be projected large-scale at a suitable venue with the reader positioned in front of the image.

Watermarks
Rising water levels – evident even along the local London canals – is the theme of a series of paper pulp works, a selection of which I’m showing at the London Canal Museum. As well as signifying the water line, the title refers to the ‘watermark’ effect incorporated in each of the paper pulp works, achieved by varying the thickness of the fibre during the making process.
An installation of melting and dripping ice is also on show, where hanging paper becomes tinted through capillary action. The short video work, Sciogliere e ritrovare, can be seen on the ground floor.
I’ll be demonstrating techniques and running a paper-making workshop using edible plants on Sunday 28 July, 11:00 to 16:00 with the chance to make your own paper.
The exhibition continues until 31st July.
In queste due insallazioni l’arte incontra la scienza.
I marchi d’acqua alta erano molto piu evidenti nel inverno 2012/2013 e camminando lungo il canale mi hanno portato a fare lavori su marchi nella carta che possono essere intesi in due modi – I marchi come luce e i marchi come livelli di misure nell’acqua. Presto la carta diventera privilegio.
Oltre sono esposti due altre opere, un’installazione, Acqua, colore e ghiaccio (azioni capillari) e un video installazione dove le poesie di Frances Presley si intrecciano con il ghiaccio (climate change).
Ice Poetry – Sciogliere e ritrovare
Installation work Sciogliere e ritrovare at the Art on Ice event for Museums at Night, London Canal Museum, Saturday 18th May. The work features stills and film footage projected onto blocks of ice embedded with fragments of text. Audio includes poetry by Frances Presley.
Garden Studio
L’aria all’aperto è sempre stato il mio grande spazio per lavorare.
Le ombre e le filtrazioni di luci tendono a semplificare le idee in contrasto.
Il fare e le immagini di un addesso e le traccie del passato costruiscono un ponte nel futuro in dialogo.
The one that got away!
Our mocked-up designs for the ‘Dressing the Porte Cocheres’ open submission in Milton Keynes. Sadly, not to be, but a very interesting project, nonetheless.
We chose the ideas of dreams and hopes to link various themes and reflect the aspirations of a young city like Milton Keynes. The wishing star and the heart-shaped cloud are symbols intended to convey this – aim for the sky, head in the clouds, reach for the stars, follow your heart – and the sky, depicted both as day and night, was intended to convey creative dreaming, as well as sporting dreams and ambitions. The whole thing was designed to be reproduced using a limted number of stencils.

L’arte-installazione inizia con l’ossessione di un immagine che sboccia mentalmente, ritorna e ri-ritorna a ossessionarti nel tempo. Tutto il processo dell’opera diventa un installazione.
