hello, well the waves have welled up and completely smothered me the past two mondays - ooft! making it difficult to shoehorn my blog in, but...with straggly bits of seaweed still stuck in my hair and a slight burny feeling on my salty exposed skin i am now determined to start rowing off to warmer and calmer climes!
firstly, i have to point out i have been enjoying my new post at once were farmers so much - these guys truely rock!
secondly, thanks to the most lovely innes, who has made me some choice choonz, i have managed to bang together a rough version of "the possible consequencies of one action - part 1: the end of the world" to submit to re:animate at oriel davies gallery - this wee animation, which incidently is only about 48 seconds long has been shot 4 different times!! the first time i shot it on super 8 (nine weeks work) and then it was developed with the wrong chemicals so it didn't come out!!! the second time i shot it on super 8 (a further 7 weeks work) and then someone stole it out a cupboard in glasgow school of art (where i had stashed it
supposedly to keep it safe)!!!! the third time i shot it on super 8 (another 7 weeks) and sent it to london to be developed by professionals, who did indeed develop it and transfer it to digital, but it was a bit fuzzy and drained looking! so.......i shot it a fourth time, this time using my nikon d60, frame by frame, just as if it were super 8 (a tremendously intense further 5 weeks) and....taaaaadaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! it is now in existence and has sound too! thanks innes xx
the other wonderful news i have sifted out the swell is that there is a new promo video up on the trongate 103 web site which has the first organisation spot lighted as glasgow independent studio and glasgow project room, where i have been studio manager for the past 5-6 years. the interview with brian hartley gives a really great overview of all the fantastic things that happen in the studio and gallery, but.....hold onto your hats......
the first studio we visit in this clip is mine!!! yes it is! that's my wee animation cells lined up, my sketchbook on my desk with a wee note from someone to me beside it, my paints and inks, my row of chiffon paintings and longshot towards my window!!! mine! mine! mine! i tells yee!
yar-har-har!!!
i am tres swanky....indeed! xxx
