A random 35mm Ranunculus from who knows when – impossibly beautiful though!

I didn’t get where I wanted with this, and where I wanted to get was to some strange and spooky little moving image piece. I even had a name for it: ‘A Derbyshire Postcard’, but hey, nevermind. As it is, I’ve probably got some explaining to do; and so, in a sort of nod to…

Some anonymous African daisies (aka Arctotis) taken on 35mm at some point in the mid-2000s or thereabouts. I can’t even tell you where they might have been growing, but just take a look at those centres… amazing things.

If our last Kick-About together saw us journeying into the weird and wonderful world of Lewis Carroll’s Jabberwocky, this week’s prompt is no less otherworldly: Delia Derbyshire’s s1968 soundscape Pot Au Feu…

Fashioned from quick-drying plaster, rawlplugs, feathers and wire, these fledgling ‘borogroves’ were produced for the Lewis Carroll-themed Kick-About No.82. As of writing, these little bird things are roosting on various surfaces in my house. I suspect they’re waiting to appear in some silly short film at some point when time allows…

Inspired by the delinquent sparrows, adolescent starlings and industrious blackbirds that are always bustling about so comedically in our garden, I decided I’d give my surplus energies this week to imagining some fledgling borogroves – in response to The Kick-About No.82.

Our last Kick-About together sent us deep into Klimt’s pine forest, where inspiration waited for us between the trees. Something else waits for us in the woods this week.. Beware, the Jabberwock!

So not a pine forest (Klimt’s Tannenwald being the prompt for The Kick-About No.81), but a beech wood carpeted with bluebells. These photographs were produced by over-exposing a lot to introduce lots of white into the image and blow out the details to produce as impressionist a vibe as possible. The leaves on the trees…

Charles Sheeler, our prompt for our previous Kick-About, transformed his man-made landscapes into flattened, graphical patchworks. Klimt’s painting, Tannenwald is similarly transformative, magicking a forest of ubiquitous pine trees into something as tactile and richly textured as tapestry and is this week’s muse. Happy browsing – and you’ll find all previous editions of The Kick-About…

In a previous life, I would always find myself fiercely preoccupied May-through-June with designing and fund-raising for my final year students’ graduate showcase at New Designers in Islington, London.
