Centred on the artist as avatar, she builds, breaks down, gestures, cries, dissolves. Colour passes over her monochromatic existence. At all times somebody and nobody. An exercise in the minimal. I don’t want to produce perfect art. I want to explore. Predictable, maybe sometimes, because retrying always has some predictability. But not one style. Routine […]
When I do video art, I begin with a pile of visuals that have fascinated me. Then I go and look for music, not with an obvious intention, but with an idea, which grows with the right music. This connects with a long interest in music, spanning contemporary music, back through jazz and blues, folk, […]
It has been a strange time. So little happening for so long, then many things following close to each other. So, as Supernova Digital Animation Festival concludes in Denver on 30 September, I’m looking forward to another, shorter, festival during October. Flames Tear the Soul has been selected for the Osprey Short Film Awards. It […]
Running a bit behind time on this one. But I finished work yesterday with one job, and start another next week – the mundane realities of life getting in the way.

The busy autumn I referred to in the original post in 2017 meant […]

But artistic expression is more than numbers. I’ve written previously about my thoughts on Isolation by CapCat […]
It was my 60th birthday as the plane approached Denver. Seeing the sun setting on the skyline of the Rockies is something I will always remember. But that wasn’t the only special thing. I was here for the Supernova Digital Animation Festival a couple of days later. And after the trials of this year, that […]
It took a longer time than usual to think through this latest video, Art Tartaruga, for two reasons.

The other was a more familiar one […]
