cubed!

lose yourself..........or find??

my idea of pocket maps ;)

ceramic samples

samples inspired by lines, maps, plans.......

good fun!!!!

silicone moulds, casts and all the fun while waiting ;)

these are the shapes I took form the people I sketched and one is from the building plan. I enlarged them and then they were cut from mdf board and glued to the one too. 

Next, I had to apply a layer of vaseline so the silicone that was poured later on, would come off easily. 

Then, I coverd the shapes with plaster so the silicone moulds would stay in shape.

The ready moulds. Later on, I used only one of them.

I had to find proper material I could make the cats with

The plaster turned out to be to fragile, the long bits just broke

Wax wasn't strong enough either

Only the synthetic resin was strong enough and didin t brake, giving nice transparency and shine.

In the next casts, I used different colours by adding pigments to the resin.

city sounds

I recorded this video back in September 2010 while doing the research for the project. 

The city is in a hurry, is busy, loud, impatient..... just like me and you........sometimes....

A very nice blog from Art21. They also have plenty of interesting programmes about contemporary artists.
In this blog I really liked Jenni Rope's description of the way she works- finding the shapes, playing with them....

Richard Tuttle in Dublin- definitely I won't miss this exhibition!.
