This was an animation I made by cutting out images taken from the recording made in 1894 by Étienne-Jules Marey and laying them over one of the desks in the studios at school that was white at the start of the year but is by now covered in the remnants of multiple students artistic efforts.

self portrait

Back at school and we spent the first four days in an intensive self-portrait workshop in which we were required to divide up the portrait into squares and use colour in new ways.

This is another piece from our first assignment at Whitecliffe.

Red and Black Art Sale No.1

I'll post more images soon of the event, but this is the sign I put up for the art sale we had at our flat yesterday.  Several friends from art school contributed art as well as others from the Whitecliffe community - not to mention my wonderful neighbour. Everyone had a superb time and we raised over $500 for Christchurch Earthquake relief, on a day when the weather made it pretty tempting just to snuggle up in bed with a movie.
