The Big Draw - Update

YOUR BIG IDEA
Thanks to everyone who came down to Arnolfini to participate in the Big Draw on Sat 10 Oct! The day was a huge success, with some fantastic drawings and ideas on the theme of climate change. We'll be doing it all over again on Sat 31 Oct and it's FREE, so come along! There's still time to pick up a postcard from Arnolfini to write or draw your message to Gordon Brown - we'll be posting them off to him at the end of the month.

I've seen the future...and it's chalk

I've recently been enlisted to produce the exhibition text and information in chalk on a blackboard wall at Arnolfini in Bristol. This led to another commission, recreating a chalk diagram by Roy Ascott for his exhibition 'After the Net (2.0)' at Peninsula Arts in Plymouth. Both projects were done by using an overhead projector to project the image onto the wall, then tracing over it in chalk. The effect has a really nice aesthetic, particularly with hard-edged digital text softened by the chalk outline. This could be a new direction for my work!
