Thanks to all who came to NewBridge Books for the launch of A lot can happen in fifteen minutes, my risograph publication produced in collaboration with UnstapledPress.
With so much going on as part of Microlates in Newcastle, I was very pleased to see such a great turnout throughout the night.
As well as working with UnstapledPress on the risograph publication, we created a number of collaborative collages which are currently exhibited in NewBridge Books.
We also shared the joyous task of threading packing peanuts onto lengths of thread which are installed in the window space of NewBridge Books.
Huge thanks go to Cathy, Holly, Deanna and Rene from UnstapledPress who have been such a wonderful team to work with.
Cathy created a sound work that was playing throughout the evening, and Holly even made a jelly to mark the occasion!
I also had an amazing group of readers to help with the readings at tonights launch. We read three of the texts contained within the publication, and each were read in a different fashion. For the first reading we were all distributed throughout the audience, with the audience not knowing who would deliver the next sentence.
The second text involved two readers who were facing each other, one taking the role of 'them' and the other taking the role of 'you'.
For the final reading we all stood in a circle, our faces looking into the audience and away from each other. We all began reading the text at the same time, but naturally we became out of synch.
Sarah, Stella, Michaela, Pheobe and Edwin; thanks a million for helping out - you were AWESOME!
My thanks also go to Kuba at NewBridge Books for his support, assistance with install and for supplying the groovy tunes that kept us dancing into the night!
I'm really pleased that my recent collaborative publication, 'A lot can happen in fifteen minutes' with UnstapledPress is getting positive feedback.
Come see it now as part of my installation 'Everything Will Be Alright' at the Newcastle University MFA Exhibition 2016.
They are printed using risograph printing, making each one (I have 75 copies)an original artwork.
Publications can be bought from Newcastle University throughout the exhibition and online or in person.
After weeks of work, the publication that I have been working on with UnStapledPress is in the post and the printers have sent a few photos to give us a sneaky peek of what is to come.
To see it in person, come to the MFA Exhibition 2016 at Newcastle University which opens tonight (Friday 19th August 2016) at 6pm. The exhibition runs until Saturday 3rd September, and is open Monday-Saturday from 10am-5pm each day.
In the last few months I have been working with UnstapledPress to create a publication containing a collection of my texts along with some drawings. It has been an exciting process, and has been a real technological learning curve for us all. When we started the process, my photoshop skills were limited and I had a lot of skills and techniques to learn in order to realise my ideas. I have surprised myself; through experimentation and by asking lots of questions to photoshop pro's, I have become more confident with the tools and have enjoyed creating the designs.
Don't get me wrong, I am in no way a whizz on photoshop and I have plenty still to learn. Working with the team at UnstapledPress was super and we taught each other skills that we had gained.
Now we have sent it off to HATO, the printers, who will be using risograph to produce the publications. We look forward to receiving the proof print shortly.
