On Our Doorstep: Red House Museum

I have just completed the work I will be exhibiting in the "On Our Doorstep" Exhibition at the Red House Museum, Gomersal from the 26th June to the 8th July. My work consists of a series of  Framed Limited Edition Giclee Prints, captured and processed entirely on the iPhone inspired by the natural landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales. Here are two of the images....feel free to come along to the exhibition to see the rest.

In the garden

I was lucky enough to spend some time in the garden this weekend and began to clear a space for a new shed. There was a lot of garden rubbish to burn which made for some great pictures, including this one...

Hyrstmount Habitats - What a great project!

Last week I had a fantastic time at Hyrstmount Junior School in Batley, working with children to produce an animation called "Habitats". The children were fantastic - very enthusiastic, hard working, full of fun and a joy to work with. Within a week they completed their animation from start to finish and were involved in every aspect, including research, drawing, painting, writing, character designs, background designs, set building, animating and sound recording! Here are a few images I captured throughout the project. For more information on this project please visit the KirkleesArts4All Blog.

154 Journey Images

During my recent trip to Newham, as part of the 154 Collective Project, I captured a few images that I felt conjured up a sense of journey. Here are a few of them, each captured and processed entirely on my iPhone as part of my own journey.

154 at Gallions School, Nehwam

After visiting children at Birdwell Primary School I travelled to Newham with Fabric Lenny to deliver 154 workshop with children a Gallions Primary School, Newham. The children were fantastic and produced some amazing artwork including continuous line drawings, pen and water wash portraits and mini canvasses. As well as drawing, the children also worked with me to produce a series of photographic portraits which will be part of a montage piece I am creating for the 154 Exhibition in June. I also produced a short film of children drawing using timelapse animation. For more updates on 154 please visit the 154 blog.

154 at Birdwell Primary School, Barnsley

I have recently had the pleasure of being part of a 154 workshop delivered by Fabric Lenny at Birdwell Primary School, Barnsley. During the workshop the children were involved in drawing and painting with traditional materials and with mobile technology including iPads. I visited the workshop to catch the children at work and I took lots of documentary images for the 154 project. Here are a few of them. For more updates on 154 please visit the 154 blog.
