Lecture Notice
I am giving a lecture at the Bartlett on the 4th of March at 6.30pm in the Darwin Lecture Theatre (not in the Bartlett building), in case anyone is interested in a fuller description of the work I post on this blog. The details are available here
Cockatoo Island
Cockatoo Island is in Sydney Harbour and is a former shipyard that now hosts an array of events including the bi-annual Urban Islands workshop.

Map
Another exhibit from the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford. I like this map a lot – it is described by the card shown above – because it concentrates on condition more than physical characteristics. It is also made so that it floats if dropped into the sea from the small fishing boats that used such maps. It is photographed through glass so there are a lot of reflections.
Drawers
Instrument Two
Quite a few people have asked about the contents of the drawers on Instruments Two and Three.
Here they are in sequence:
Spare fittings
Tools
Spare Parts
And a spare pair of eyes..
The contents of the bottom drawer is a Victorian pari of glass eyes in their uncut blown state. They are set 65mm apart (the typical separation). They are a reminder of the ambiguous state of the instrument in dealing with the pictorial structure of the picture plane, which negotiates between the three and two dimensional worlds.
New Digs
Where I used to live…
Our new street…
Our world arriving in stereo
The view from the end of my street
Between us and the beach…
Just to illustrate the last post, we have moved from Winnipeg to Brighton, quite a change. Our new street looks out on the sea, a great pleasure when leaving the house in the morning. Also strange and fun worlds between the city and beach. Should be up and running soon….
Back on track..
I will resume posting tomorrow – I have just moved to Brighton in the UK and am waiting for my internet connection which should arrive tomorrow (Friday).
Back in Europe
Paint Shop in Gent
Paint Shop in Gent
I arrived back in London today for a short holiday before starting a new job at the University of Brighton in January. I will miss a bunch of talented colleagues from Winnipeg but am happy to be back. I will be travelling a bit over the next few days but will try to keep posting.
