Thesis work

David Cushway does stuff about traces that are left behind by individuals. some of it is boring stuff, like shots of a pot getting smashed, but most of it looks pretty interesting

this is a work from 1996 - Cushway put unfired bricks down on the floor of his studio for six months to record what was happening.Then, he fired 'em, and called it art.

Linda Christensen

Though Linda writes something about trying to convey a feeling of fleeting moments... Blah blah blah... I feel she is a sort of kindered spirit - I too feel that people are looking for reasons why an artist chooses this image over that one. Truth is, when all that you are really interested in is paint and composition, the statement comes across as dry. Which, in Linda's case, is no big deal, because her compositions and handling of paint are first rate. I would love to spend an afternoon picking her brain and watching her paint.

Also in her shadow would be Shannon Craig, daughter of Philip Craig, who has the guts to drag a paintbrush from one side of an almost-finished painting to another, and just leave it there. here is a terrible example of her work. there is better stuffout there, if you look harder than I

have you ever seen those South east asian lanterns that are made out of paper, and that are heated with a small cup of flammable oil? they're printed with prayers and blessings, and, when heated, rise up into the sky. they go forever! im picturing a surrealearly morning, maybe with a dozen of these things weighted so they can't rise far off the surface of a lake. it's misty this time of year in the morning. a still morning would give a really cool reflection too..
..these containers of light could be moved to different settings - rural, urban, the woods..

sorry, SORRY Ming - it's been way too long since the update.

We've been busy, on and off...

we had an early morning sunrise shoot that totally didn't turn out, video or photos.


two weeks ago we had a late night shoot up at my parent's cottage - here are a couple of the images..



















we'll end up using at least one of the images - we'll blow them up big, and make light boxes out of 'em

im thinking that combining two - invert one and have them facing each other - may be interesting, but , we'll see.
