JISC-turnitin

I've just uploaded my Images and Things essay to the JISC website and after a couple of hours travelling home from Uni, the SIMILARITY INDEX shows 0%. I'm quite chuffed at that.

My seminar lecture says that it didn't have enough quotes and references in the document. I have read and assimilated at least five books including Lea Vergine, Charles Simic and Paul Mijkensaar on subjects as diverse as Trash, Instructional Art and Poetry, but that's not good enough, apparently. If I upload my essay here, the INDEX may rise to 100% so I'll leave it for a bit.

I've had a quick chat with (I think Paul) the course Technician and might be getting there with the perspex lazer cutting conundrum. The chat ended with possibilities of N E O N.

Result from brand new Lumix DSLR camera.



This was inspired by the recent BBC4 programme about The Lonliness of A Crane Driver...I've just bought a new Lumix DSLR and I was able to achieve a full 18x zoom.

camera experiment...


Photograph of a moving subject. This image has an almost oil-painterly aspect to it.

compostion experiment


A compostional collage using throwaways.

Ladybird lamb


This is a little pretty paint and acetate collage from an idea that I had whilst looking over a collection of Ladybird books. My first intention was to construct a book of collage and verse in the classic style of the Loughborough publications.

Mother and verse

Here is a component of the large scale collage that I am planning to carry out. I need to learn how to convert certain data from one computer to the laser cutting room. I think the image would benefit with the inclusion of light in some way.

collage compostions





These are composition experiments for the collage that I intend to construct out of found items such as burnt wood, broken glass and steel. I am in the proces of making small scale renditions of what will be the final outcome. Hopefully Rauchenergesqueish...
