And finally, a last few dribs and drabs from my fantasia on a theme of Marie Menken – and with a hint of Gatsby glamour!

So things took a monochromatic turn this time out – with some suitably atmospheric results! There’s a nicely weird mix of ultrasounds, spooks and radiowaves in the mix here, reminding me of the opening titles to British science-fiction series. Thanks again to Marie Menken and the Kick-About for the creative splurge!

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.

A third set of photographs produced in this same way, with contrasting results, inspired by Marie Menken’s 1966 film, Lights. It’s likely there’s a discrepancy between a person’s interest in looking at these images and my fascination with having created them. All I can say about that is… sorry, there’s many more to come, and…

The Kick-About No.34, inspired by experimental film-maker, Marie Menken, was all about working directly and playfully, emulating the way Menken had turned her camera on the Christmas lights of New York to transform them into abstract patterns and ‘drawings’. For my part, I fashioned for myself a very simple piece of apparatus – a sheet…
