Winchester School of Art: Typography Workshop

Last week i was invited by the team at Winchester School of Art to give a 1 day typographic workshop focussing on type as image to 1 st year Illustration Students. Having given this workshop in the past its always good to see the students starting to grasp how type can work as a three dimensional object within its own environment. Thanks to all the students and staff who assisted during the day.

Time

Again, busy studio move. Re - Focus getting back on it, Victoria Miro Saturday found time to check Tal R and Doug Aitken show's - both excellent. Strong sense of narrative combining past present and future between both artists work in different format and process. Connecting time with the present. Now. Spatial awareness in a digital  environment. Keep looking around you.

Latitude Festival

It was a busy Summer and we re well into Autumn now. Latitude Festival took place place back in July - NCC collaborated with Holly on some animated pieces Produced by Fallon Films which were projected in water at night around the camp. Not just projected in the water but into and through water which was sprayed from the lake to form a temporary projection screen. Here's an edit of all the work produced by various directors:

Hepworth's Space and Form

Whilst we were in St Ives at the weekend it was great to see the home and studio of Barbara Hepworth. The actual studio spaces of which built alongside her garden were alot smaller than I had imagined considering both the size and complexity of some of the larger pieces often seen in context with her commissioned works. Also being able to view at first hand the sculpting tools and small maquette's together with further unfinished works built over time, space and form.
