I can reveal my contribution to this years RCA Secret Exhibition now that the artist's names have been shared with the public. I wanted to create an air of foreboding so I found pictures from airshows and various other small town public spectacles and excised the focal events, leaving crowds of people marvelling at intense skies made with washes of watercolour dye. </div>

I stumbled across yet more of my earliest work. I'd characterise it as colourful, yet inexplicable. Creativity was always nurtured growing up however bizarre the product. Art materials were plentiful and we were always working on a project. We made our own paper, experimented with dough craft, carved lino, designed teddy bears and created countless weird drawings of which these examples are only a few. I credit my parents with instilling in my siblings and I the sincerity and enthusiasm necessary to make stuff unfettered by self-doubt and perfectionism. </div>

I found an affordable and plentiful source of rubber printing blocks which are beautifully smooth to carve. Typically my prints mean at least one self-gouging in the fleshy part of my hand even with bench hook and hand guard. Thankfully my valuable meat is safe with these.<span id="goog_1708510221"></span></div>

They are all 4"x 6" and lend themselves well to small vignettes. I've always been preoccupied with 'leaflet people' the unnaturally normal parents, children, first-time homeowners and serene dog walkers living out their lives in stock photography paradise on insurance leaflets in banks and supermarkets. They exist in Kodak moments, too perfect to be real.<br />

They speak to that gulf between faerie glamour figments of advertisement living we fancy for ourselves and reality; the shaky consensus which we down here on earth rarely agree upon. They read like misremembered deathbed recollections. The inability to cope with that dissonance works itself out a thousand different ways on social media, that vast expression of 'Kilroy was here.'<br />
<br />
As a print project I felt they'd work as outline, I used carbon paper to transfer them to the blocks and carved away the negative space. When printed they look like inverted ghosts, I wanted to strip away the colour and facial expressions. It forces a step back from the story being sold. Devoid of all the dressing they become unsettling and grotesque, just like life. I chose the name 'Umbra Sumus' which means 'We Are Shadows' in Latin to reflect the use of reductive methods that pare down the image into it's most basic form, as shadows show our merest shape which is all we are.<br />

Densely packed with imagery, looking them over is like jumping in a time machine and travelling backwards, becoming the person I was. I had a lot going on in my head, I still do. The difference now is that I've learnt coping mechanisms. I also learnt that in an orchestra not all instruments have to be playing at once. These are maps to my pre-adolescent psyche.<br />

All participants bring varied interests and talents. Working on group projects or pursuing a unique vision there is no limit to the creativity and enthusiasm at the heart of the Artism Sussex animation group. I never tire of working with such visually bold and adventurous people who all have such a love for the animated image. <br />

Credit for the below film goes to the talented and prolific Peter Hourihan one of our animators.<br />

I recently took part in a large scale group collage show which showcased the work of many local and international collagists. The sheer variety of approaches on display was awe inspiring and ranged from the traditional to the bizarre. I found myself drawn to the weirder ones. Most of the Mazhari clan contributed, my mother Bunny and my brother Alex submitted their own collages. It's the closest we've come to having a group show.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">My final project in the MA Show emerged from the vast subject of my Research Report. </span>Five earmarks of visual 'disorder'; apophenia, horror vacui, repetition, obsession and synesthesia. Before I settled on the scroll form, I was intent on making a series of concertina books as a departure from the long, run-on canvas. I ultimately went with what felt most natural and is most conducive to long streams of visual information.</div>

"Come and make your own animated film. Animation is about choosing a
story to tell and then turning that story into a film. You don’t need
any special skills. You will be given a visual diary that is yours to
take home and fill with ideas. Bring it back each week and use the
course to bring your stories to life. This is your opportunity to
experiment and have fun with cut outs or ready-made objects; to draw; to
do some model making or even animate yourself! We will help you express
your ideas and show you how to turn those ideas into a film. At the end
of the course you will leave with a CD of your finished work."<br />

With minimal intervention I've modified a Datacard Addressograph credit card imprinter to be able to print very small linocuts and etchings. The initial idea came from an article by the artist Sarah Whorf but the result was far better than I expected. It's portable and convenient so I can make prints on the train (barring public outcry.)<br />

I made this short film with objects I had to hand to get a feel for the process. Heinrich's left leg fell apart, his genitalia was fatally squashed by a gorilla and he had difficulty standing unaided. Needless to say Heinrich requires extensive rehabilitation.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
This was the result of a brief from MA Sequential Design/Illustration to plan and deliver a surprise to the rest of the MA group. Since the objective was so broad I was overwhelmed by the possibilities. I kept returning to the basic definition of surprise (To <span class="hvr">cause</span> to <span class="hvr">feel</span> <span class="hvr">wonder,</span> <span class="hvr">astonishment,</span> or <span class="hvr">amazement,</span> as at <span class="hvr">something</span> <span class="hvr">unanticipated)</span> instances when I'd been surprised, what I think of when I hear the word surprise. What I finally I hit upon is the notion of winning something.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
After the PowerPoint I presented these £1 lucky dip toys I bought and carried out a lottery, pulling names out of a pot which meant there were three 'lucky' winners. It's the purest notion of surprise that I have; the immensity of pre-gift potentiality the moment before curiosity is satisfied. The image you build in your mind which is invariably greater than the actuality.</div>

On display were drawings, paintings, sculptural pieces and in the corner played the unnervingly quiet recording of children's voices. His work is caught between the desire to convey personal information overtly, the exacting demands of commercial illustration and a strong fine art sensibility. I love that it straddles different visual worlds outside of easy categorisation. It's a rare quality that can be hard to find in an industry that relies on ready demographics and styles that are provably populist.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

His scroll is longer in person, spread across four walls. It tells the story of miscarriage and the ensuing unfulfilled dreams of fatherhood, the toys, birthdays and summers that won't happen. Fantastical imaginings of the silent milestones never to pass. Foster employs scale and vivid colour deftly, creating a panorama of cheerfully sad scenes of unspent life in which those lost live on forever.<br />
Of the sculptural pieces I enjoyed the pleasantly grotesque pool inflatables, their shiny smooth surfaces made sinister with glued on hair. They had a tactile appeal despite their looks and joined two inevitable facets of life, a meeting of childish and adult concerns.<br />

Andrew 'Foz' Foster gave a short artist's talk about his methods and inspirations. I particularly enjoyed his sketchbook filled with beautifully detailed drawings of the growth patterns of pubic hair. Each individual strand is rendered with reverence. It's a meditation on pubes which is not something I ever thought I'd find so moving.<br />

I was inspired by the passion and control evident in Foster's work. It is innovative, meaningful and beautiful. It is executed with mastery. Foster gave a talk at Brighton in which he played a clip of the All Blacks performing the haka at a Rugby match. He used it as an example of passion that's channelled, honed into a precision rather than a blunt instrument and I find that idea so relevant and useful to my own work.<br />Oddkidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17188251172625340606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586933137741953828.post-64167985678344124142015-05-26T17:09:00.000-07:002015-06-13T05:36:09.483-07:00Heart Etching<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I made this etching by mentally reversing an image of a human heart which was a lot harder than I envisaged. After etching the lines I overlayed it with several gradations of aquatint.<br />
