I’m going to leave you guessing as to how these ‘paperweights’ were produced, though the creative process did begin with actual glass paperweights and a webcam.

From the rather austere and ominous sonic manipulations of Delia Derbyshire and our last Kick-About together, to the mouth-watering eye-candies of Murano glass… enjoy this latest collection of new works made in a short time; and if you want to browse all previous editions, you’ll find them collected here.

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…

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!
