Interactive Installation – Part 3 – Image Transform

It’s been a while! Part three of my notes on writing code for an installation. I wrote this code about 3 months ago and didn’t take many notes so I don’t remember a huge amount about the pitfalls and processes involved. I’ll talk you through its purpose and how it fits into the greater engine. […]

Salisbury Plain Exploration 2017

On and off we visit Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire to explore the marvellous spooky abandonedesque bleakscapes, not actually abandoned as they are used for military testing and training grounds. It’s fascinating to explore the tank graveyards and strange structures which are probably mundane to those who have to work there. There’s always a hint of […]

Progress Theatre Gallery

HELLO! Some exciting news. I’ve been asked to supply art for the foyer of Progress Theatre during their run of Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem. Apparently mad hedge wizard artwork fits in well with the play (which I’ve read but never seen). The show is on between 7th-16th February. You can buy tickets here. Progress is a lovely […]
