Batch No.7! I told you I was having fun. More Kick-About #34 -derived in-camera experiments, using only a sheet of painted glass and whatever light sources were in arm’s reach.
-
Another glimpse into the other-worldly realm of house number 351, where I spent one long sleepless summer night in the gameful pursuit of spectral anomalies, and finding this one poised perfectly in the old dark stairwell…

“Let there be lights!” And there were lights. More photographs deriving from my creative Kick-About inspired by the experimental film-maker, Marie Menken,

A number of associations attaching themselves to this set of Marie Menken-inspired photographs; Metropolis-like cityscapes and other Art Deco-esque impressions and the synaesthetic animations of Disney’s Fantasia.

More in-camera experimentation deriving from this same hands-on technique and produced in response to The Kick-About No.34. More than anything, this set of photographs recalls the deadly beauty of the lionfish and the deep-water undulations of their spines.

It’s been rather too long since artist-in-residence, Graeme Daly, and I sat down for a proper blether about his continuing adventures as a freelancer, film-maker and photographer. I keep up with Graeme’s various creative endeavours via his Gentle Giant blog and Twitter feed, but nothing tops an old-fashioned chinwag…

For my part, I fashioned for myself a very simple piece of apparatus – a sheet…

Two ‘selfies’ taken at a particular time in a particular place. The attic in question is the attic of my grandmother’s house and I lived up there for a few months while I redecorated her house. My grandmother had died fifteen or so months earlier, and I had the bitter-sweet job of making-over her various…

After the more reflective mood and quiet menace in the previous instalment, things couldn’t be more different in chapter 19, as Kyp and pals emerge into a scene of carnage and destruction. It’s been a strange exercise this week, smashing up the Temple of Miscellany I constructed earlier in the book. But there’s not much…
