work = drout
UUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ok so i've been working non-stop at home in cavan for the last few weeks and i havent posted anything up. iv been horribly regimented since iv been working. i HAVE gotten fit again however, which is a start. iv a few ideas about the loss of identity through menial tasks but im seeing this as a positive...the lack of self in these tasks, they are ego free and work on a more basic mundane level, but in action these motions can be beautiful.
i shall elaborate soon....

These are some experiments I've done with print-making. They're not particularly good prints :/ The image
with the glitter works to ram home the gay reference. (Up the shitter...)
The other image is a print where i painted the plate with french polish and layered it several times and let it drip. It love the way it looks, and it reminds me of those old fashioned illustrations from the 18th/19th century, but the goo just looks like extreme diarrhoea. :/

TETRIS -piece
The two short films below were shown simultaneously on a loop at "the make and do society's TETRIS" exhibiton. They were shown on small screens on the floor. I originally planned to construct something the viewer had to climb into in order to view the films, but as I keep learning, I keep trying to say less things at once. However, at the exhibiton opening night I wore the balloon suit -from the video below- casually, as the audience sipped wine and looked at the art. The HUGE crowd caused some mobility problems but it all added to the spectacle!
day to day
originally created to be viewed simultaneously with "home movie" below, the more this film is shown, the more I feel this is a stand-alone piece.

body forms again
these video's are a continuation of the distorted body form images i made.
bodyforms 2 - 6, 2009
these are digitally manipulated images of myself. i was thinking about the manipulated image, and how in the media images of celebrities (''people'') are manipulated in a really homogenous way. the images i've created here are a subversion of the generic, photoshopped face of the media. i think the fact that they are of myself creates a friction between sabotage of the self image and a reaction against societal physical ideals.
