Mark Wallinger The Russian Linesman & Sentence

Annoyingly i cannot find the photos i took at this exhibition they are lost somewhere in the depths of my hard drive, however this image taken from http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/features/making-links-the-russian-linesman-1623695.html?action=Popup, shows the russian linesman at the 1966 world cup final. Victory or not.



In this exhibition at the Hayward Gallery i found the juxtaposition of image and language quite compelling, to extent that their was no relationship. I would be listening to a piece of writing by James Joyce and be looking at scientific photographs of heads from the 19th century. The idea that i am looking at is the juxtaposition of language. The power of two different sets of thoughts placed together as one. In this case i have used a 'The Ballad Of Persse O'Reilly' by James Joyce and an article from this saturdays guardian about 'OMG: Kirstie Allsop Caught on Twitter'. I have used the first four words of each alternate line and placed them together. This can also allude to the surrealist automatic writing technique, but i am interested how dfferent sets of languages from completely different context and times read together. I want to explore this for the exhibition on the theme 'Sentence'.

40 Paper Dimensions

The project at hand was to design a dictionary. The dictionary had to contain forty words, in whatever way i chose to represent. I wanted to keep literal and in focus upon something that can be used and is useful. Paper and paper sizes are something that have always been of a concern in terms of what size i want to work with and what would be best for the printed outcome. I wanted to represent paper dimensions physically. Within this poster i have taken an image of the installation an represented it as a piece of information. The information follows the same system as the installation itself. I have also used the typeface DIN Mittelschrift for its clarity.

Mothers Day Card

I found this image of the card i made my mum for mothers day. After a large amount of vector based work it felt good to get out the inks again. I did an ink drawing of the south downs that has been occupying the desk in my room, its just one of those photos that are always just there.
