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!
