'Cool Pebble'

.... also looking forward to next year with my new A4 calendar of images photographed in my studio at home this year, cropped samples of pages below. Each page contains an image approximately A5 landscape in size, as 'Cool Pebble' appears above, for instance.  I am selling this unique collection of images for £25 inc. p&p; if you're interested just contact me.

'Watching time pass by'

I've just added a new gallery - 'Time passing, light passing through' consisting of recent images featuring timelapse and reflection. New shapes appear when time is added; golden balls turn into doughnut shapes or lamp-like objects.  Topological changes occur too with reflected objects; exciting distortions are the order of the day.

Below, some images from earlier today featuring new angles of incidence and reflection ... enjoy!

'Cosmic angles of attack 1'

'Cosmic angles of attack 2'

'Glass armour galleon'

'Spark off in the cosmos'

'Swinging high'

'Bulb form'

'Mushroom in the Ether'

'Mission in progress'

'The growth of physics'

'Thrills and bubble spills'

A process of transformation occurs when the viewer looks at an image, adds his imagination and thereby to some extent makes the image his own.

Your interpretation/version of the images below will be different from mine ... many versions coexisting ... 

'Spiral evolution'

'Carmen M'

'Effortless symmetry'

'Oval window, Bubble eye'

'Extremo-chromaphile'

'Aqua vortex, yellow window' 

'Windows within windows'

The first and second images feature lacy networking and swirls respectively.  The third image is the aftermath of several bubbles exploding - we can track the patterns of the pops.

SMART CONTEST

Here is a link to the SMART website update of the recent contest which I took part in. Some very interesting pages on the Festival as well - looks like it was a lot of fun!   2012 SMART contest winners

'Cosmic bubblestream machine'

'Cosmic bubblestream machine' one second on. 

'Weblight'

'Towards Intensity'

'ever increasing circles'

'Octagonal lightscape'

'Falling into a brown study'

Here is the link to the University News feature about the exhibition, and below are some pictures of the 2D work and of 'Hubble Bubble'. If you have the chance to come along, that would be great. I've included lots of info about the work there, including an account of the development and building of the sculpture. If you want a guided tour, just let me know - I'll try and take you round!

What a beautiful space to display work - Hubble and the pictures - a view through

The only thing certain is colour change

Special spirals

'Red stripes'

Most of the pieces on display reflect my year-long collaboration with the scientists, engineers and technicians who work at the Harrison Building at Exeter University. Many of the photographic images and videos I show are a direct outcome of this collaboration, and form a record of the development of my work throughout the year.   In addition to my main collaboration with members of Harrison, I've also made some contact with other departments and individuals throughout the Uni.  Very many thanks to all those who have helped me to get my projects underway.

In this exhibition I explore how pattern changes through transformation, modification, self-embellishment, superimposition and decay. I also give examples of how the language of patterning can work across different scales and different media - ink combined with water in slow and fast flows, and glass combined with light. I also include my prizewinning images of work carried out in the Fluids Lab at Harrison. You can read about my latest prize win at the College of Engineering Maths and Physical Sciences website

If you're in the area, please drop in and take a look ... hope you enjoy it if you do see it!
