Brief 8 - Project 1

For this project I planned to work quite openly,

attempting to explore a range of media allowing

me to see what formats I work with best. I tried

not to base my submissions too heavily on other

artist’s work.

This was the result of some moving image

experimentation. The first issue was based on the

content of our first meeting, topics and processes

we discussed.

Brief 8 - Project 1

“That’s you, drops of water and you’re on top of the mountain

of success.

But one day you start sliding down the mountain and you

think wait a minute; I’m a mountain top water drop.

I don’t belong in this valley, this river,

this low dark ocean with all these drops of water.

Then one day it gets hot and you slowly evaporate into air, way

up, higher than any mountain top, all the way to the heavens.

Then you understand that it was at your lowest that you were

closest to God.

Life’s a journey that goes round and round and the end is

closest to the beginning.

So if it’s change you need, relish the journey.”

- Edward James Olmos,

‘I’m Still Here’, 2010

The second issue was based on the theme ‘Journey’.

I looked at the film ‘I’m Still Here’ and also the works

of Bill Viola. His work is often about the journey of

self discovery and spiritualisation.

I chose his video piece “An Ocean Without A Shore’

and cut it up, changing it into a still format. I wanted

to still show the development of the video so I

used the early shots of the video at the edges and

progressed into the middle.

Working with a collaborator’s lyrics I chose to overlay

some tree shadows. I had chosen to hand write the

lyrics to experiment with hand rendered typography.

My second submission consisted of multiple images

I had scanned in from a Jane Fonda workout book. I

felt the shaped the figure made resembled that of a

tree. Overlaying them gave a real sense of movement.

My third submission consisted of the individual scnas

themselves, seperated and mounted onto the Atelier

wall.

The fourth Issue was based on being

away from Leeds and the Atelier studio

space. I submitted photos from a few

exhibitions i went to.

For the fifth issue we decided to produce posters for

the live zine printing we will be doing on the 24th May

at the Broadcasting From The Brudenell exhibition.

These are the two images I submitted and the text

remains the same on all of the pictures. The images

are from a gig I went to at the Brudenell Social Club,

a band called Summer Camp projected old photos

onto a cloth, it seemed like a good idea to use

something that had already exisited in the Brudenell

Socail Club.

We plan to print onto A3 and exihibit the posters

behind us when we are printing the zines on the night.

Atelier - A Production of a Publication

For the documentation publication I am producing

for my second brief 8 project I needed to consider

layout, grids and typography. I planned to use a lot of

photographs taken during the Atelier process, I felt

this would be the best way to explain how we went

about making the zines.

Your Friends work mainly uses photographs, so I got

some good ideas of how I might layout some of my

pages.

Filippo Nostri has been a big influence on my work.

His work remains very minimal but effective. He uses

very simple solutions to create some really nicely

designed publications.

I have written the content for my publication so it

was useful seeing how Nostri had dealt with the

relationship between text and image.
